Ford’s successful line-up of cars in the Thirties included the 1937 refresh, known as the 1937 Ford. This line-up was extensive, and included coupes, convertibles, pickup trucks, sedans, station wagons and utility variants, with choices of Standard or Deluxe trim levels. Over eighty years later, these vehicles are popular with the restomod, as well as purist community. This 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible is one such example that would appeal to the latter. It shows just 9,750 miles and appears to be a lovingly restored example that’s in stunning condition, ripe for a collector or vintage Ford lover to splash out on.
The iconic design of Thirties and Forties Fords created a distinctive image that is popularly seen in gangster films of the period. Nevertheless, this 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible looks more appropriate to star in a homely flick, driven by a gent or lady of stature. Draped in a maroon paintwork, it features a contrasting tan top that’s said to be newly installed, and the requisite whitewall tires which are reportedly fresh. All chrome work and badging appear to be present and correct, and in pristine condition to boot, and the sealed-beam headlamps which were introduced in 1940 showcase their clear lenses, along with similarly pristine tail lamps. A peek at the undercarriage reveals a similarly clean outlook. The interior features a tan color theme with two low-back seats for driver and front passenger, and a similarly low-back bench for rear seat occupants. Two would be the comfortable number of medium-sized adults for the rear seat, as these vehicles were narrower than their contemporary counterparts. The dash looks fantastic, with the analog clock ahead of the passenger. This example is also reported to be radio ready should you desire to install one.
Ford’s famous flathead V8 powers this 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible, fed by a single twin-throat carburetor. The 221ci unit reportedly put out 85hp which was impressive for the time. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission. This car also sports front independent suspension and four-wheel drum brakes which are reportedly fresh.

The 1937 Ford line-up was basically a refresh of Ford’s popular Model 48, and ran for four model years. The range saw new engine choices and some fresh styling but remained more or less mechanically identical in other ways. As time passed on, these cars became classics and then vintage vehicles. They’ve also become rather sought after due to their interesting styling. Some petrolheads buy these to restore to concourse condition, others make them into restomods of varying degrees. If you want a 1937 Ford that’s more or less standard, but with a few modern enhancements, check out this 1940 Ford Deluxe. It’s undergone a frame-off restoration and now sits on a custom frame for better longevity. With a host of improvements, it’s a Forties classic that you can drive on a regular basis.
A classic Ford is a car from a totally different era. Let’s take this 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe as an example. Hailing from the 1937 Ford line-up, its over eighty years old! However, the car doesn’t look it, as it’s been well looked after. It’s also got a newer powerplant under the hood. A little history lesson, the 1937 Ford line-up was basically an updating of the previous Model 48, itself a derivative of the older Model 40. However, the public didn’t mind. They lapped up the cars with eagerness, since Ford had made a name for themselves right from the start when the Model T came into existence at the turn of the century. Today, while few of these cars remain in decent condition, they are highly sought after. You’ll rarely come across one in this condition, so you’d better act quick if you want this car. Let’s discover a bit more about it.
While the early 1940s were a turbulent time for the U.S. and the rest of the world, some stunning cars were produced during the period. This era of cars is characterized by their streamlined and more aerodynamic looks while retaining separate fenders and plenty of chrome. Design was king, and the sought-after Ford Convertibles are known for their good looks and ever-increasing value among collectors. Our featured car is a 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible that has undergone an extensive restoration. The current owner reports that this vintage car has even scored a 98 grade out of 100 for the restoration work that was carried out. The owner also reports that the car has won many awards at classic car shows.
The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
You might be thinking “Boy, I’ve sure been seeing a lot of first-gen Ford Mustangs for sale lately”. Well, that’s due to no fault of the car; rather the fact that Ford sold them by the bucketload. Introduced in September 1964, 121,000 units were sold in the last three months of that year, with 22,000 orders taken on the first day itself! The next year, 1965, would see sales balloon to over 559,000 for that year alone. So, this 1965 Ford Mustang is one of over 559,000 that were made. This is great, because it means that getting your hands on a classic first-generation Mustang is relatively easy. After all, wouldn’t you think that it’s one of the best starter classics? This particular car has received a host of mechanical refreshments and upgrades, making it an absolute beauty to drive.
The fifth-generation Ford Mustang reinvented itself as a design icon, blending retro cues with a decidedly modern drivetrain. While the 2010 Mustang was available in many potent flavors, one of the most sought after was undeniably the 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 Super Snake. When it was launched, it was the most powerful production Mustang ever made, with a reported 500 hp on tap. The GT500 Mustang was breathed upon by the engineers at Shelby, a company that has had a long association with fast Fords. It featured a supercharged V8 engine and many other performance upgrades. Our featured example takes this one step further with many upgrades, including improved suspension and brakes. Read on to find more!
