1939 FORD DELUXE CONVERTIBLE cOUPE

THE MODEL

The "De Luxe" name goes all the way back to Ford Model A's, but Ford  began in 1938, a brand within a brand as a more luxurious addition to its Standard models. Of the almost 1/2 million cars Ford produced in 1939, only just over 10,000 were Convertible Coupes. Starting in 1939 was the addition of hydraulic drum brakes and it was also the last year of the rumble seat for the extremely distinctive Convertible Coupes.

Also in 1939, the 221 cu in flathead was improved with a bigger crankshaft and heavier connecting rods.  Compression was raised to 6.2:1 along with new 24-stud cylinder heads.
