1940 Ford Deluxe

The 1940 Ford Deluxe 5-Window Coupe, one of the most celebrated automotive designs in history, in timeless glossy black. This iconic pre-war classic features the legendary, smooth sweeping lines, beautiful pontoon fenders, and original-style chrome accents that make. The '40 Ford Coupe is historically the ultimate "moonshine runner" car. Bootleggers loved them because the trunk was massive enough to hold heavy loads of liquor, and the sleek body was aerodynamic enough to outrun the police. It is widely considered one of the most beautiful automotive designs in history. It was the very last year of the classic "Fat Fender" era before cars started looking boxier in the late 40s and 50s. The 1940 Deluxe is famous for its gorgeous, deep-V chrome grille that looks like a sharp heart or a shield. It's an instant identifier for car enthusiasts. This was the era where headlights finally moved into the fenders rather than sitting on pods next to the radiator, giving it that smooth, futuristic (for 1940) look.
