1933 Ford Deluxe

The Ford Model 40 represented the evolution of Ford's groundbreaking Flathead V8 line, which had debuted in 1932 as the first mass-produced, affordable V8 engine available to American consumers. The Flathead V8 quickly became one of the most influential engines in automotive history, helping establish Ford's reputation for performance and later serving as a major contributor to the postwar hot rod movement.

For 1933, Ford introduced an extensive redesign. The wheelbase was stretched from 106 to 112 inches, the body adopted a longer and more streamlined appearance, and Ford introduced the distinctive “shovel” grille that became one of the model's most recognizable attributes. Deluxe models further benefited from upgraded trim and woodgrained interior accents.

This 1993 Ford Model 40 Deluxe Fordor is finished in black paint with red pinstriping and red wire wheels with white wall tires, as well as a rear-mounted spare tire. The interior is brown cloth, with bench seats in the front and rear, and the car is powered by a 221ci Ford Flathead V8 engine mated to a 3-speed floor-shifted manual transmission.

Reportedly, this Ford has been in the seller's family since 1965 and is said to have been featured in some minor film roles under their ownership.
