Frame Off Restored Real Steel Deluxe Coupe Flathead 8

The beneficiary of a complete restoration that brought it to factory specifications, this '39 Ford Deluxe Coupe might be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, but looks as good today as when it rolled off the showroom floor. If you love the way these older cars handle and want to cruise in style, then this is the '39 you have been looking for. Today the signature look of the '39 Ford body sits covered in a brilliant shade of blue. Instead of radical sheet-metal surgery, the builders instead focused on getting the details perfected, which means high-quality metalwork, excellent gaps, and exact alignment of all the panels. This one fits together very, very well. At the front of the body the massive V-shaped chrome grille sits behind a body width chrome front bumper. In the 1930s, chrome and other brightwork were how automakers defined themselves and they lavishly dressed up their designs with a lot of shiny jewelry, and this 1939 Ford is no exception. Powering the '39 coupe is a correct 24-stud flathead V8. Collectively referred to as the 221 motor, the Ford powerplant creates a modest 85 horsepower with a relatively tame 6.12:1 compression ratio. It was a durable, torque machine whose adaptability made it a favorite of many of racers. Underneath you'll find the original X-style frame remains intact and looks like it has barely any road time at all. The restoration team also used the factory style transverse leaf spring suspension at the front and rear, which ensures this coupe drives like the classic that it is. Bolted to the block is a period correct 3-speed manual that feeds power to a banjo style rear-end. Drum brakes are responsible for slowing the vehicle and give it more of that authentic feel when cruising down the road. Don't miss your chance to pick up this Ford Deluxe while you still can.
