STK 3732 1940 Ford Standard Five Window

Ford sales were solid in the late '30s and early '40s. Their reasonably priced coupes and sedans were some of the best performing cars of the era. The '40 Ford coupe was especially popular with folks of the North Carolina hills. When set-up correctly, these Fords were the perfect vehicle for moving 'hooch'. Changes necessary to use a coupe as a good 'Runner' included modifications to the passenger compartment/trunk to provide additional storage space and an upgrade to the rear suspension setup that added a transverse coil-spring 'dampener' to the leaf spring that helped level the car when it was loaded with mason jars. This coupe has these modifications, and the owner states that this classic '40 Ford was exactly that – a 'Runner'.
The Ford coupe received a beautiful restoration in 2000 and has been carefully maintained ever since. The handsome sheet metal was refinished in Cloud Mist Grey, a '40 Standard color, and trimmed with outstanding chrome/stainless accent pieces. Stock 16” steel wheels w/factory hubcaps/trim rings mount meaty Firestone bias-ply blackwalls and complete the exterior package. The interior is also meticulously restored. Everything looks truly authentic – grey cloth upholstery, stunning Bakelite dash, instrument cluster and 17” steering wheel – all showstoppers. The coupe is said to be powered by a built 239ci flathead (model 59AB, '46-'48 engine). It is equipped with a Holley '94' carburetor and sounds amazing through the custom dual exhaust system. A 3-speed manual transmission w/column shift transfers torque to the 'banjo' differential. The chassis incorporates manual steering and 4-wheel 'Lincoln' hydraulic drum brakes. This stunning, historic Blue-Oval is ready for your next hometown car show, parade, summer cruise-in, or hooch run. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”.
