Rare Brunn & Co. 1938 Ford Convertible Sedan Deluxe, 85 HP 221 V8. Very Nice Ford Rare Convertible Sedan Deluxe. This vehicle left the factory in 1938 and went directly to the shops of Brunn & Company in Buffalo, New York. There it underwent “special detailing”. Landau Irons were added, the top mechanism was modified to operate with the landau irons, a spotlight and custom door handles were added. This is believed to be the only Ford of any year that went through Brunn, as Brunn typically only performed work on Lincolns, Packards and the occasional Duesenberg. This beautiful car has an older complete extremely high quality frame off restoration. The body panels are all metal with no plastic in them. All body contours are correct, door gaps are even, and the doors shut extremely well. Bright work is excellent with no pitting. Any parts replaced were New Old Stock from Ford with the exception of the gas tank. This vehicle won the prestigious Dearborn Award as well as multiple other awards every time it was shown and was featured on the cover of the National Early Ford V8 Club’s magazine, the V8 Times. Never a garage queen, this car has seen 6700 miles of driving since restoration including extended trips to Early Ford V8 Club National Meets. So it does have a couple of minor rock chips expected of a vehicle that is loved and driven. That being said it still looks great from the top or the bottom. This car has never overheated due to the modified water pumps. With the dual exhaust and Fenton Headers, this vehicle really purrs. The spyder hub caps look great rolling down the road. Safety has been addressed with the addition of hydraulic brakes, making this vehicle a pleasure drive. All records on the vehicle dating back to it being discovered in 1969. There are a couple of bug splatters in these pictures. They are not chips or damage! Offers Accepted Book Values; NADA Average Retail: 44,300High Retail: 69,900
