'40 Ford Evolution · Design · Racing · Hot Rodding
Notable for its streamlined style and deco details, the '40 Ford has
gained in popularity among today's classic car nostalgists and hot
rodders who remember the models as monsters of the drag strip and as
affordable first cars or hot rod platforms of their youth. In this
illustrated history of the '40 Ford, auto historian Joe Cabadas delves
into the archive of The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan, to offer a
complete history of the 1940 Ford: the design and production process
that led to the car, the various body styles; motorsports (both
circle-track and drag racing), and hot rodding. Sidebars feature
prominent, key figures within Ford, the cars in popular culture,
significant contemporary automobiles from competitors, and more. Two
hundred rare photographs and illustrations from the collections of The
Henry Ford and from photographers around the country marvelously
illustrate the iconic automobile.
