Vehicle Description
The 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible from the Charlie Thomas Collection is a meticulously restored example of pre-war American automotive design. This car features a 221ci flathead V8 engine producing 85hp, paired with a three-speed manual transmission and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes-a significant upgrade for its era. The convertible has been refinished in Garnet Maroon with a tan soft top (maroon piping), complemented by a luxurious red leather interior. Its restoration, performed in the early 2000s, included a full overhaul of the suspension and brakes, as well as detailed attention to factory-correct finishes and period equipment.
