1940 Ford Standard Sedan: 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. 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-six engine to be reintroduced the following year. Sealed-beam headlights were one of the few major advances for 1940,  while a hydraulic top was new on the convertible.   What really makes this Ford a great classic to add to your collection is it's originality! As a matter of fact, it even received a Dearborn Award in 2010 for it's outstanding original condition. How often do you find a classic that has  been so well maintained for 75 years that it looks outstanding and runs like a champ? Per the most recent and very long time owner, the 42,300 mile odometer reading represents the original mileage on the sedan. This collector drives  all his classics and kept all systems in top condition for weekend drives. The Ford runs great at 60mph and the owner claims 22-24mpg on average trips he has taken. The engine was rebuilt at 40,750 miles and all new brake were recently installed for top  performance. You will see in the photos below that this Ford is very original and has only had recent minor paint repair for a garage incident. If you are looking for an outstanding example that retains originality and drives great  .... this is your car! The black paint shows very nicely, the original tan cloth interior has an unmatched patina, and all the gauges work as they should. This classic Ford needs nothing and we wouldn't hesitate to jump in it and drive it anywhere. It starts easily, shifts smoothly, stops  like it should, and drives great.
