Re: What's your flavor: The '39 or the '40 DeLuxe?
I fell in love with a low mileage unrestored 39 deluxe coupe that I can not get out of my mind at Hershey many many years ago now. It would be way out of my price range today. What a cool survivor that I hope still looks the same today. Near perfect original upholstery, Crank out W/S, swan neck floor shift etc. etc.

I'm a '39 guy all the way. That's not to say I wouldn't take a '40 though!

Re: What's your flavor: The '39 or the '40 DeLuxe?
Easy! '39 Deluxe!!! I'm clearly biased as my high school transpo for a bit was one with a 283, that weird '58 reverse pattern three speed, Rocket mags that sorta looked like Americans, and all the other crap common to '60s hot rods. In 1981 with that car I was "persona non grata" 'cause it was all Old crap and "why would someone as young as you want any of that stuff?"
But honestly, even as a little kid growing up with my dad's '40 Deluxe, I just couldn't get with the extra bump on the hood and that grill. Just never looked right to my eye. Now, a '40 standard would be a very close 2nd choice... |

40 Standard with 39 taillights. 39 crank-out windshield is nice, but those 40 wiper towers are so damn graceful. Both headlights are nice and you can switch to whatever trips your trigger.

Re: What's your flavor: The '39 or the '40 DeLuxe?
They're both great going down the road but I like the round gauges, wood grain, with the windshield kicked out about 5 inches, eatin' bugs, wind in the hair, and the swan neck myself!

Re: What's your flavor: The '39 or the '40 DeLuxe?
Easy enough - excluding the convertibles, make your own....

Ford should have stopped making new models in 1939... it was perfect.

Re: What's your flavor: The '39 or the '40 DeLuxe?
ALL-WAYS a Forty guy here but disappointed over the years that Ford dropped the convertible sedan after '39. So when I came across this Forty-ized '39 conv. sedan with '40 headlights, tail lights and trunk, there was only one thing to do. I BOUGHT IT.
I also own a '40 DeLuxe coupe.

Re: What's your flavor: The '39 or the '40 DeLuxe?
I have the best of both worlds. A '40 Deluxe Coupe and a '40 pickup.

Re: What's your flavor: The '39 or the '40 DeLuxe?
Had both and loved em both but they didnt advertise the 40 as the "Fabulous 1940 Ford" for nothing. Prefer the 40 by a couple hairs over the 39's.
