1938 Ford Deluxe Convertible Coupe Ground Up Rest Excellent Driving Condition
The 1937 Ford featured a more rounded look with fine horizontal bars in the convex front and hood-side grilles. The front grille was V-shaped, rather than following the fenders into a pentagon shape, as on the 1936 model. Faired-in headlights installed in the front fenders were a major modernization found on both the Standard and DeLuxe trim versions, and the introduction of an all steel top for the passenger compartment. The Standard could be distinguished from the DeLuxe by the body color radiator grilles and windshield frames while the DeLuxe had walnut woodgrain window mouldings and exterior trim brightwork, and a woodgrain finish applied to the interior window trim. A larger water pump was used to help aid in cooling.
The 1938 recession hurt sales, as did Ford's continuing of the 1937 cars, including most body panels. 1938 DeLuxe models were differentiated with a heart-shaped grille, though standard models retained the 1937 look.
This exceptional example was the recipient of a ground up body off frame restoration roughly 20 years ago. The car has been used sparingly since and still presents as a freshly restored car. The car features a High Speed Rear End, 6 Volt Alternator, Electronic Ignition and Electric Fuel Pump. The car is professionally maintained, and driven on a regular basis during the driving season.
