A great car should have a great story, and this 1940 Ford coupe does. The late Bruce Church held the 1930s V-8 Ford line with solid appreciation, and when the opportunity to acquire an example as original as this one presented itself, he jumped quickly. This all-steel body standard model is showing 32,844 believed-original miles, is an Early Ford V-8 Club Dearborn Award winner and has been granted AACA Historical Preservation of Original Features honors. In 1985, Bruce went to the then-owner’s house and purchased this car. That owner, however, had neglected to inform his wife that the Cloudmist Gray beauty was leaving home. She arrived from out buying groceries just as Mr. Church loaded the car onto his trailer, and immediately let her spouse know that she was quite unhappy with his decision to sell it. Bruce would later note that he spent no time waiting for an outcome to this travail, opting to get the rare machine with its 24-stud 85-HP 221 CI flathead V-8 engine out of the driveway as quickly as possible. This V-8 was Ford’s signature street engine of this era, with 155 lb-ft of torque and 6.15:1 compression. A downdraft carburetor and oil-bath air cleaner complete the look, with a column-shifted 3-speed transmission getting it up to speed. Inside is the tan mohair interior, with clock, radio and vanity mirror. Outside, the popular 1940 body lines are accented with chrome bumpers featuring guards and tips, amber fog lamps, radio antenna and dual windshield wipers. The car rides on color-matched steel wheels using chrome V-8 hubcaps and trim rings with standard tires. With the market for solid original cars continuing to grow in the hobby, the accolades already attained by this automobile are significant.
