This three-passenger 1940 Deluxe Coupe is a U.S.-built car that was completely restored circa-1998 from a rust-free original and then imported from Canada in 2003. The mileage shown, which is not quite 53,000, is believed to be correct. The car is painted in Ford’s Yosemite Green, which presents very well, and the chrome has all been replated or replaced. It has a LeBaron-Bonney interior in correct brown cloth and a black rubber floor mat in the front and brown carpet in the rear. The dashboard is restored in the striking maroon and gold motif that was unique to 1940 cars. All control knobs, as well as those on the window cranks and door handles, have new plastic. Equipment on the car includes an original Ford radio with a windshield header antenna, a heater, dual exterior cowl-mount mirrors, and a dashboard clock.

The original engine has been replaced by a 100-brake horsepower unit from a 1946 Mercury, which was rebuilt by Central Precision Ltd., of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, an authorized Ford rebuilder. The heads are C59A Canadian items, and the tires are BFGoodrich 6.00-16 wide whitewalls, which are nicely complemented by the Ford caps and beauty rings. The three-passenger Coupe is seldom seen in the collector community, and this is an extremely nice one.
