Description
The Antique 1937-1940 generation of Fords is one of the most popular automobiles for hot rodding.
Early stock car racing drivers also used Fords of this generation among other cars. This Ford also formed the basis for a style of dirt track racing car.
This photo was taken 10/14/13 at Memorytown USA car show benefit and easily took first place for best show.
The Ford line of cars was updated in 1937 with one major change the introduction of an entry-level 136 CID (2.2 L) V8 in addition to the popular 221 CID (3.6 L) flathead V8.
The model was a refresh of its predecessor, the Model 48 (itself based on the Model 40A), and was the company's main product. It was redesigned more thoroughly in 1941. At the start of production, it cost $850.
A high flat-topped hood dominated the front look of the 1940 model, as the grille spread out to reach the fenders to differentiate the deluxe line and the headlights were pushed wider still.
The standard Ford inherited the grille of the 1939 model with blackout on each side of a heavy chrome center; heavier headlight surrounds serve as another major differentiator from the 1939.
1940 was the last year of the 1937 design and its smaller V8 engine, with a straight-6 to be reintroduced the following year.
Sealed-beam headlights were one of the few major advances for 1940, though a hydraulic top was new on the convertible. Those were the days my friends.
