DESCRIPTION
1939 Ford 60 Series Standard Fordor Sedan
For consignment, a 1939 Ford 60 series Standard Fordor sedan showing 68,673 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a PA title exemption. Newer upholstery, fuel system, headers, and Bendix brake system are just the tip of the iceberg of the care and maintenance afforded this stunning \'39.
Exterior
\"It has the same big, roomy bodies that proved so popular in the 1938 DeLuxe Ford\" claims the sales brochure for \'39 and it doesn\'t take long to recognize the tall cabin, curved roofline, and rounded edges everywhere on this stately four door. Decked in Black, the artful trim includes a hook shaped line across the waistline, bold coverage on the nose, and linear accenting on the grille. Along with the headlight rings, it\'s not too much, and not too little and the contrast of stainless to black is outstanding. The 16-inch artillery style wheels are painted purple here with the stamped V8 in the hubcaps matching and beauty rings framing them and white walls surrounding them. Imperfections on the single stage paint include numerous chips and inclusions about, areas or orange peel finish, scratches, cracks, light pitting on front metals.
Interior
The doors open up to expose handsome two tone gray cloth panels and period hardware, all in good shape. Up front, a clean cloth bench seat in gray presents nicely and is mirrored by the rear bench both in materials and condition. A vinyl grip wraps the 3 spoke steering wheel ahead of the black dash with vintage, tan faced gauges with ivory lettering, art deco in style and each with a torpedo shaped needle. The center includes ivory toggles and a glossy black glove box resides to the right. Black carpet is contrasted nicely with gray mats and is the host to the floor mounted shifter completely the clean view up front. The headliner is gray and stitched and looking fantastic overhead and the trunk has a fitted gray mat and shows cleanly.
Drivetrain
Looking every bit period correct, here\'s a 239ci flathead V8 under the hood, rated at 100 horsepower and fueled through a newer 2-barrel carburetor, according to our consignor. A 3-speed manual transmission is behind it and power is routed through 3.78 gears in back. Red\'s headers are tucked underneath and begin the exhaust process. The car still runs on a 6 volt system.
Undercarriage
Other than some residual oil under the engine, the underside is clean and dry. The dual exhaust travels through Smithy mufflers and runs parallel to the back. Drum brakes are at all four wheels with Bendix front drums now on board. Our consignor states newer wheel cylinders, shoes, lines, two chamber master cylinder and hardware. Suspension consists of transverse leaf springs front and rear. We\'re also informed that the gas tank, fuel lines, regulator and electric fuel pump are newer.
Drive-Ability
We take a trip right back to 1939 as if we\'re proud new owners of this Fordor Sedan and leaving the showroom floor. The flathead starts and runs without issue and the car tracks nicely along the test loop exhibiting zero hiccups from this airy and comfortable cabin. All functions on board, limited as they were in 1939, all work as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Obvious work went into this classic Ford and the result is an uncommon fine example of what once was a common car. More than 400,000 cars came out of Ford plants; the sharp nosed design and the V8 made Fords the popular choice. Now, the choice is yours!
