Ford’s 1941 models underwent a complete redesign. Gone was the “pointed prow” that had characterized the make since 1937, replaced with what designer E.T. Gregorie called a more “horizontal effect,” in tune with what other automakers were using. The wheelbase was stretched to 114-inches and the bodies were made smoother with higher fender lines, the effect most pronounced on the coupe and convertible. Ford now had three series, Special, Deluxe and Super Deluxe. The Convertible Coupe was offered only as a Super Deluxe model. The Super Deluxe convertible was a particularly popular model in 1941, with 30,240 examples produced, an increase of nearly 28-percent over 1940 levels.

The paint on the restored convertible presented here is finished in burgundy; and matched with excellent chrome, tan convertible top and painted steel wheels with whitewall tires and polished center caps. The interior is tailored with brown upholstery and matching door panels. The engine is a 221 cubic inch flathead V-8 with 85 horsepower, and the transmission is a column-shifted three-speed manual. Numerous accessories on this car include: correct AM radio, cabin heater, grille guard, bumper mounted fog lights, drivers spotlight, mirrors, fender skirts, original tools and jack.

The convertible has an older nut and bolt restoration that is still in nice condition. This iconic Ford V-8 was an AACA National First Prize Winner in 1978, and remains in show quality condition.
