One year after the onset of World War 2, Ford introduced the 1941 Ford model under 3 different lines, Special, DeLuxe and the Super DeLuxe, with the latter being the highest version available. Production was halted in 1942 and restarted in 1946 with a much needed visual and mechanical upgrade. One of the biggest visual changes between the 1941 model and the post 1946 models was the change of the grille from a 3-piece affair to a 2-piece grille. In the 1978 movie "Grease" a 1948 Ford DeLuxe was featured which no doubt helped the vehicle’s desirability. We present this 1948 Ford Super DeLuxe S 5 Passenger 2 Door Sedan which has undergone a complete frame-off restoration, and is available in Massachusetts as a worthy contender if you are looking for this model.
The Super DeLuxe was produced with higher quality materials compared to the other models. More leather and chrome, also a wood-grain dash was standard as befitting Ford's highest range. This 1948 Ford Super DeLuxe S 5 Passenger 2 Door Sedan comes in a period correct gray color. It rides on a set of OEM wheels with classy white wall tires and matching beauty rings. All chrome parts have been polished to a mirror finish with all relevant badges also polished and in place. Fog lights are standard on the Super DeLuxe S, as are chrome caps. The rear of the vehicle which was rebuilt hosts the boot with a spare whitewall tire within. The interior features a new leather interior from LeBaron Bonney. The dash features a fuel, oil, temperature, and a battery charge gauge alongside the speedo, which sits directly behind the classic 2-spoke Ford etched steering wheel. A clock in chrome and gold takes perfect center stage, matching the color and design of the car.
For a car which is over 70 years old, it still is in excellent shape. This Ford Super DeLuxe S 5 Passenger 2 Door Sedan is powered by a 239ci 3.9L Flathead V8. This motor was able to dish out 100hp of power and 180 lb.ft of torque. 2020 saw a host of refurbishment and restoration work done to the mechanicals, including a rebuild of the engine and three-speed sliding-mesh manual transmission, along with a new carburetor and 6V battery, and rebuild of the generator. The windshield wiper motor, tie rods and king pins were also replaced at this time.
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!
