1941 Ford Super Deluxe Convertible
For consignment, a 1941 Super Deluxe convertible looking the part with its rounded lines accented by thin chrome trimmings and two rows of it! A 221ci flathead V8 and a tan canvas convertible top that works very smoothly and electrically. A fine example as shown by a Contemporary Historical Vehicle Senior award and 1978 AACA Senior National 1st winner, now gracing our South hallway but not for long as these cars tend to move all over the Hallowed Halls of the Classic Auto Mall.
Exterior
Draped in Mayfair Maroon, this steel slabbed Ford produced Super Deluxe has most of all its original trimmings and is looking simply fab. In Super Deluxe style, the barrel shaped vertical ribbed V grille with its two flanking side panels looks shiny and unmarred. Rounded lines with bulbous fenders now with just a very small running board, we are moving into the modern era of the next car look as to the overall design genre. A hinged on the back hood with some curved edges, a bulbous badged front section and a rounded trunk with a clear plastic rear window for the tan canvas roof just above. We see a central passenger compartment which utilizes square doors and is adorned with belt line trim spears. Also noted are some snazzy thin fender trimmings that wrap around the back and front quarters. A flared rocker is seen at the bottom. On the long sloping trunk we see the chromed and polished trunk release and a shiny bumper with guards below. On all 4 corners are the standard 16-inch Mayfair Maroon painted steel wheels sporting moon caps in the center with Ford logo badging. Wide white walls for all corners are the standard fare for this Deluxe which is just Super!
Interior
Taking some liberties to show off the fine finishes of the interior, the faux woodgrain brown metal dash is showing with a metal background for a horizontally aligned instrument cluster with sweet tan gauges within a horizontal bar of pure cream Bakelite lusciousness Knobs and pulls have are all lined up at the bottom of the dash and have that wonderful aged white to tan bakelite feel and appear as almost chess pieces. On the dash top center is a working bakelite radio with more beautifully aged ivory coloring. Below that wide horizontal strip of chrome is a ribbed chromed speaker covering. We do note some cracking and peeling of the wood appliqué on the face of the dash. The chairs are now covered in nice saddle vinyl and there are split backs for the fronts so one can access the back bench. Matching door panels in the brown vinyl and have chromed handle accenting and a brown textured vinyl covered armrest in the centers. A large round gray/tan bakelite steering wheel fronts this dash, and a ribbed black rubber mat floods the floors. The inside of the canvas top is excellent.
Drivetrain
Flipping the hinged hood, we see in the restored engine bay, a 221ci flathead V8 which our decoder states is correct for this car. As is the 2-barrel carburetor feeding it, and the 3-speed manual transmission on back. This setup is a 6-volt electrical system. A newer black painted aluminum radiator fronts the mill, and the rear axle weighs in at a 3.54 ratio.
Undercarriage
An X frame with no rust firmly supports like new floor pans and shiny exhaust in single piped form. Body hangers are rust free and it is definitely an all-solid undercarriage environment. Traditional transverse leaf springs for the front and rear suspension work with drum brakes on all 4 corners. Just fabulous!
Drive-Ability
She started right up, and on the test track had solid acceleration and bias free braking. Steering was smooth and shifting was the same. All functions were working as they should save for the heater blower not blowing and the speedometer and odometer not ticking away the miles.
In keeping most of its original charm, we see an overall very good condition award winning automobile with that fab grille! Much of the original trimmings and steel panels have been retained and the paint is excellent, still shiny after all those years showing just a few small battle scars. It is time to do another bucket list thing in retirement, so advantage YOU! Come and get it!
