134402 / 1940 Ford Deluxe

For more information on this vehicle visit When it comes to vintage Fords, there are plenty of restomods and street rods to be had -- especially with for a model as popular as the 1940 Ford. Unfortunately, for every original car that gets a Mustang II front clip and a small block Chevy, the appeal that originally drove buyers into showrooms gets relegated to history books. Thankfully, there are still cars like this stunning 1940 Ford Deluxe coupe to remind us just how great these cars are in stock form. With a 73-year-old car, authenticity can be a tricky thing to preserve but this coupe had a great advantage to start with. The restoration centered on an original rust-free body that was stripped to bare metal for a new beginning both inside and out. The panels were gently refined in preparation for a new coat of black paint sprayed by Rick’s Body Shop in Gastonia, North Carolina. Topped by a great mix of original and NOS pieces, the car presents as authentic down to the details.
