Technical '39 Ford Deluxe coupe

Best design lines of any Ford ever built...

 

Can't argue with that.

 

Shiny black is my favorite.

Damn skippy !!

 

Koolbeans for sure!!

 

That’s perfect.

 

A truly beautiful automobile, for sure.

 

Yep, my favorite "fat fendered' car.

 

Style with a smile..........................

 

Your excellent photos confirm it.

 

Very nice!!!

 

Always liked the looks of the grill and tail light on the 39 over the 40. However, I would take either. Nice car!

 

Was this a Georgia car? Good looking 39.

 

Very nice!

 

It's in the top two of my favorite pre war Fords. Not that it makes a difference.

IIRC, '29 thru '41 designs were a collaboration between Edsel and Gregorie. Some damned nice contemporary, timeless designs, done over Henry's objections. The question is, though... HOW did FoMoCo come up with the questionable design they hung Edsel's name on?

 

From North Wilkesboro North Carolina

 

First hot rod was a 39 deluxe coupe with a nailhead back in 1970. Always wanted another but settled for a nice 40 standard.

 

A book worth reading

 

Do you know the cars origin?

 

I don’t, just had seen one very similar advertised in the classifieds a while back.

 

'39's are my fav - just bitchin'

 

My Dad was a ragtop man, I'm more of a hardtop/coupe/sportsroof type of guy. He said he leaded the hood on this one to eliminate the trim and seam down the middle. Can't see that in this mid to late 40's photo. He's long gone, but he'd agree with you on the beauty of the '39.

 

A 1939 coupe is what I decided on vrs a 1940 coupe.....that 1940 sedan avatar just wiggled it's way in....because it was pretty darn solid !

 

They look good even is it isn't smooth and shiny .

 

I'd love to have a sedan done just like this one (OP)

 

It's stunning but I am not sure about that.

 

That's a really cool picture. Thanks for sharing.

 

Beautiful coupe

 

My old '39.
