This phaeton truly represents the end of the automotive era. If you're a pre-World War II classic car fan or a classic Ford fan, you should really stop by The Ford Standard and Deluxe was a series of full-size cars introduced for the 1937 model year. This family of cars was offered in a wide range of body styles such as coupe, convertible, two or four-door sedan, and station wagon. Two engine options were available during production, the base 2.2L V8, and the optional 3.6L V8 engine. The Deluxe variant was the high-trimmed, and more luxurious version, while the Standard represented the base model. Over the course of production, Ford used Model 'X' names to designate their higher output engine. Ex: The 1937 Model 74 featured the 60hp V8 engine, as opposed to the Model 78's 85hp V8 (For 1938: Model 81A, 82A / For 1939 Model 91A, 92A, etc). Production of the Ford Standard & Deluxe lasted until 1940. South Jersey Classics is a 10,000-square foot classic and specialty collector automobile dealer, featuring 50+ vehicles.
