1934 Ford Model 40 Convertible

REDUCED PRICE, LEAVING FOR HERSHEY OCT. 5TH The cars of the 1930s had plenty of style and character. But one needn't buy a Packard or Rolls to enjoy the aura of motoring in that bygone era. By the mid-1930s, Ford was offering a V8 engine in its cars, a powerful engine option that previously was limited to luxury brands. Ford also offered plenty of body styles, including a sporty convertible with a rumble seat to let a few more passengers join in on the open-air cruising fun. Here we have an incredible, award-winning example of a 1934 Ford Model 40 Deluxe Roadster, complete with rumble seat. The car has only had two owners, and had been in the same family since the mid-1980s before our acquisition. That second owner searched high and low for this specific year, make and model because that's the same car he had when he met and dated his wife. He wanted the best example he could find and got it. Look it over and you'll be amazed at the excellent condition of its all-original, arrow-straight and rock-solid body and underside. Restored in the late 1970s, the car was repainted the correct Vineyard Green paint that still looks amazing. The various chrome accents are brilliant, and along with the wire wheels and wide-whitewall tires, make for some serious curbside appeal. The convertible top is likewise in fine shape and features contrasting brown piping as well as a small glass (not plastic) rear window. Inside, you'll note the handsome tan upholstery along with the wood-tone accents on the dash and doors as well as the elegant instrument panel with its crystal-clear gauges. The rumble seat is surprisingly comfortable, provided its two passengers are not too big. Under the hood is the iconic flathead V8 with 2-barrel carburetion that provides plenty of smooth power which is sent to the rear wheels via the original, easy-shifting 3-speed manual transmission. Note that the engine was refreshed in January of 2023. This classic Ford hits the trifecta as it runs, drives and looks fantastic. The cherry atop this sundae is that this incredible example earned two AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America) awards: an AACA Junior 1st place award in July of 1983 in Minnesota and a National 1st place award that same year. The car has been painstakingly preserved since those prestigious awards were received. For more information or to schedule time to see this sharp classic, just give us a call at 603-627-5595.
