Ford De Luxe 275ci Flathead 1939
General description :
1939 Ford Deluxe Period-Correct 1939 Ford Deluxe Reliability and performance describes the highest standards of this custom build. One look and you'll be in love. A traditional hot rod in execution as well as preparation has become a lost art. You need to start with a properly built Ford flat head. The famed Flat Head engine builder Ben Lismacki built the 275ci. As the saying goes, it "Has All the Right Stuff." Start with Offenhauser polished intake topped with 3-97 carbs. The tri-power is the correct look and, yes, reliable for any journey, and do so using period-correct components! The Edelbrock finned aluminum polished heads, and chrome oil filter, takes one's breath away. A few up grades like an electric fuel pump with a fuel pressure regulator, as well a 12-volt system with a chrome alternator. A polished aluminum radiator with a high flow electric fan keeps the '39 cool under any driving condition. It is mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. In keeping to the classic style, a dropped axle with a mono-leaf front sprung suspension, front and rear sway bars and tube shocks gives the perfect ride. A few other must have safety upgrades for today's driving are the turn signals, high and low beam headlights, and electric wipers. The '39 has all new wiring by Painless Wiring including modern fuel box. Let's not overlook the Vintage Air heater. The joy of a classic is in the look of the dash gauges. Keeping the original gauge package and yes, the dash clock. The two-tone cloth upholstery was done by Ken Muth. A more comfortable ride would be hard to find. The painted wood dash, door and window trim is stunning. The body metal work was done by Joe Maxwell Metal Works. The brilliant robin egg blue paint is thanks to Peterson Customs. The finishing touch of custom pin stripes by "Hot Rod MacKenzie." The '39 successfully is done in true traditional style! Park it in your garage for $29,995.00! This car is located in Edmonds, Washington.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
