1940 Ford Deluxe

Description: ** 1940 Ford Deluxe with 18,855 actual miles!! ** This amazing Ford has always been loved and cared for. This was what you might call a special Sunday driver for both the 1st and 2nd owners. The 3rd owner had the car lightly restored as needed for car show display, but was careful to retain many of the original features that were nice (including the original paint underneath the car). We acquired the car from the 4th owner, who wasn't driving it as often to car shows as he would like, and therefore made the decision it was time to re-home it. And yes!! Those are actual miles!! Documented on the title!! Perhaps the lowest mile 1940 Ford in existence?? Come see an almost new looking and driving 84 year old car!!

When you start this car up cold, it will run all on its own at a low idle smoothly without needing to warm up first. Even if it has been weeks since last start up! The only thing you will hear is the subtle rumble of the dual exhaust. The engine runs whisper quiet like a sewing machine. The transmission is easy to shift at all speeds and the car tracks very straight down the road. All working lights and gauges (yes even the gas gauge is accurate). She has been serviced well through the years. Don’t think because it’s such a low mileage car that you can’t drive it. Quite the contrary! This is a car you can get in drive right away and have some fun with. This car likes to be DRIVEN! Most of the time the photos tell the story, but it’s just not the case with this car. It’s unusual that I have a car that is more impressive in person than in the photos, but that’s what this car is. Not just how it looks, but how the doors open and shut, the firewall, the working clock in the dash ticking away. Just a beautiful car inside and out! There are some very minor flaws due to normal age and driving, but the car is super nice everywhere you look. Beautiful original dash and steering wheel! All of the glass is in good condition, the windows are tight, and roll up and down easily. The doors shut exceptionally well with a nice THUD. Engine compartment and trunk are nice and tidy looking for your car show display. Underneath the car looks great with the original paint present! NO RUST EVER with this one. Comes with the original owners manual also. This ‘40 Ford is sure to be a hit at all of your local car shows. It has many trophies yet to win.
