Awarded an AACA Grand National Senior Award in 2002, this Deluxe Coupe features an all-steel body and has travelled approximately 23 miles since a comprehensive restoration. Powered by the 6.15:1 compression, 24-stud, 221/85 HP V-8 engine with downdraft carburetor, oil-bath air cleaner and floor-shifted 3-speed manual transmission, it’s good for 155 lb-ft of torque. Presenting exquisitely well, the Deluxe Coupe is extraordinarily well appointed with a woodgrain dash and moldings, a radio and antenna, fender skirts, bumper guards, draft deflectors, accessory license-plate frame, dual wipers, Spyder hubcaps with trim rings and wide whitewall tires. Painted in highly reflective Gull Grey with tan leather upholstery, the entire car is simply astonishing. The engine and engine bay present in seemingly flawless splendor, and the interior is a place of excellence. Slide behind the banjo steering wheel and roll down the road. The new-for-1939 hydraulic brakes were established across the Ford line and made a huge difference in drivability, which was needed thanks to the revised carburetion broadening the torque band. It’s easy to imagine the V-8 delivering smooth, steady power on demand, the transmission shifting with exceptional ease and a package that delivers an absolutely dreamy ride. This year was a busy one for Ford, as the new cars received revised styling and Mercury was introduced as an upscale brand situated between Ford and Lincoln, closing the gap between the brands. Seeing cars like this Deluxe Coupe begs the question, how? It seems clear Ford was doing just fine offering higher and higher levels of elegance, performance and refinement with a Blue Oval on the grille; but it was the call of the day for companies to offer something else, something different, something upscale from the entry-level brands. This Deluxe Coupe offers a lot of upscale for a working-man’s automobile.
