1940 Ford De Luxe

After finishing lunch yesterday, this car was parked in the barbecue joint's parking lot. A much older car than the Barracuda but more interesting. The condition wasn't as good, the back paint job was amateurish.


The De Luxe was made for four years, 1937 through 1940.  As best I can tell this is from the last year of production.  Found pictures on the web of all models and the '40 appears to match.  There was V8 chrome tag on the rear truck lid and this matches the engine description as being 221 CID 1-bbl. 85 hp V8.


There are subtle differences between the model years and assuming the above example it correctly described the red car is a match.
