The Standard and Deluxe models that Ford offered in 1939 were quite easily differentiated if you were aware of the styling differences on the grille and headlight configurations between the two models. The Standard, such as this car, has the sharp vee-effect that carries up into the front of the hood and the headlights are mounted inboard of the fenders. The Deluxe had a more modern appearance with tear-drop shaped headlights blended smoothly into the leading front fender surface and a lower hood line that has a lower front edge that is basically parallel to the ground.

They differed in appearance, but the brilliant, streamlined beauty of both was inspired by the Lincoln-Zephyr, at that point in time recognized as the style leader among modern American motorcars. Both versions were big, roomy cars that had been engineered for quiet and comfort. It was stated to be “a revelation in restful riding.”

This car runs with the 221-cid V-8 which is mated to a three-speed floor-shift manual transmission and has undergone a complete frame-off restoration and displays new, show-quality burgundy paint. Among the features are new running boards, new chrome bumpers and trim, plus a solid undercarriage that has been highly detailed. The car has all of its original gauges, and the lights, horn and wipers all function properly. A brand new custom made seat cover was added to the interior. The new whitewall tires make the car very drivable, yet help in keeping that old-style classic look. The trunk is solid and free of rust like the rest of the car and has two spare tires. The fender skirts are installed in the photos and help give the car an individualized, stylish look. Additional equipment includes chrome bumpers with bumper guards, glovebox door clock, artillery-style wheels, dual exterior mirrors, hubcaps, trim rings and turn signals.
