Family Farm "TRUCK" - Dad's 1940 Ford Sedan
1940 was the final year of a generation of Fords that began in 1937. The 1941 Fords were completely redesigned, with two inches more wheelbase, and were about six inches longer overall.
It’s generally agreed that the restyle ruined the glamorous lines of the 1939 and 1940 Fords. The 1941 design carried on through the war to the end of the 1948 model year, making the 1940 coupe the last and best pre-war Ford of its kind.
Competition with Chevrolet was fierce in the late 1930s. Ford made significant styling and mechanical updates to its passenger-car line every year. Starting with the 1937 model year, Ford offered two versions of its flathead V8 engine. Buyers could choose a 136-ci engine with 60 horsepower and 94 foot-pounds of torque, or a larger 221-ci design with 85 horsepower and an impressive 153 ft-lb of torque.
Fords of this generation started with mechanical brakes all around. Ford upgraded to Lockheed hydraulic brakes in 1939. A 3-speed transmission was standard, and beginning in 1940, the shifter moved from the floor to the steering column.
This era was also significant for rapid developments in styling. These were the first Fords to have an all-steel roof, the headlights were moved out to the fenders, and 1940 was the first year for sealed-beam headlights.
Through the latter 1930s, Standard trim models carried the previous year’s DeLuxe styling. That was a canny marketing move to get status-conscious DeLuxe buyers to invest in a new car every year. The 1940 DeLuxe was the final and most beautiful expression of designer Eugene Gregorie’s vision.
