Ford began an
effort to distinguish its Standard and DeLuxe models, starting in 1938.
Standard models were built with 1937 front sheet metal and DeLuxe models
received new, updated front-end styling. They were distinctively designed with
a new heart-shaped grille flowing over the crown of the fender catwalks. As
seen on this 1938 Ford DeLuxe Convertible Coupe, DeLuxe models also benefited
from the addition of dual windshield wipers, walnut wood grain window moldings
and dash panels, a “banjo” steering wheel, and a locking glove compartment door
with a factory clock. This Ford was well-restored some time ago and is now
showing signs of aging, although it has been regularly maintained. The rumble
seat and interior has minimal wear and includes a factory radio and brass
extinguisher. Meanwhile, the paint finish exhibits some chips and touched up
areas, yet it is very glossy overall. This DeLuxe model has been regularly
maintained for driving and is a beautiful Ford on the road or on display.
