350-Powered 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe

The car is finished in Cloud Mist Gray over saddle-colored upholstery, and power comes from a 350ci Chevrolet V8 paired with a three-speed TH350 automatic transmission and a Ford 8? rear end. Additional modifications include power-assisted steering, front disc brakes with Wilwood calipers, KYB and Bilstein shocks, custom dual exhausts, air conditioning, sound deadener, and a hidden stereo system. The car was repainted Cloud Mist Gray during the 2010s project. Details include chrome bumpers and headlight surrounds, a three-section grille with body-colored side panels, dual mirrors, a cowl vent, chevron taillights, and Ford Deluxe and V8 badges. Red 15? steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and beauty rings, and are mounted with 195/65 front and 235/75 rear Kumho Solus KR21 tires. The chassis is fitted with front and rear sway bars, KYB and Bilstein shocks, a transverse front leaf spring, parallel-leaf rear suspension, and a power-assisted GM 525 steering gearbox. Braking is handled by power-assisted discs with Wilwood calipers up front and drums at the rear. The cabin houses a bench seat that was reportedly moved 2. 25? back and is trimmed in saddle-colored upholstery matching that used on the door panels. Amenities include an under-dash air conditioner that utilizes factory dash knobs as well as a clock and a hidden stereo system.
