With its large trunk and easily modified Ford flathead, the 1940 Ford goes down in history as the vehicle of choice for Appalachian moonshiners, who would hop-up the engine and stiffen the suspension for the dual purpose of being able to haul up to 180 gallons of white lightning while also providing the performance and handling to outrun the law or revenuers. The popular 1940 Ford was also commonly seen on the highways, so it blended in with other vehicles and was less likely to attract attention. Featuring handsome and timeless styling by Ford Design Chief Eugene T. “Bob” Gregorie under the direction of Edsel Ford, the 1940 Ford improved on the design of the 1939 Ford with new sealed-beam headlights and interior improvements for driver and passenger comfort. The Deluxe differed from the standard model with a three-piece grille that spread out to reach the fenders, cowl-mounted windshield wipers and headlights that pushed even further outboard in the fenders. Ford sold more than 500,000 in various configurations, including a Deluxe convertible like the one offered here. A comprehensive restoration with an AACA Senior Award on its resume, the maroon convertible retains its all-steel body, black folding top with red edging and glass rear window, and stock Mandarin Maroon interior with leather for the split-bench seat. In original configuration with 85 HP and 155 lb-ft of torque, the Deluxe model’s 24-stud Ford flathead V-8 engine is equipped with the factory 6.15:1 compression, downdraft carburetor and oil-bath air cleaner. The 3-speed transmission is column-shifted by Ford’s then-new “Finger-Tip” gearshift. The color-matched steel wheels are equipped with chrome Ford Deluxe hubcaps and trim rings, plus wide whitewall tires. Other amenities on this classic Ford Deluxe convertible include fender skirts, vanity mirror, clock, radio with antenna and chrome bumpers with guards and tips.

At the height of the Great Depression, Henry Ford and his crew released what would become a near-legendary body design. Based on what is referred to as the Model C Series 40 lines, the company offered a variety of seating styles and body arrangements in 1934, with one being a diminutive coupe with forward-facing suicide doors and just three windows. As budget vehicles, these cars met the needs of that trying era, yet they would be much more notorious in modified form following World War II. The example offered here is truly desirable in its all-steel configuration. Unlike the many that ended up in Hot Rod heaven, this motorcar has been brought to an OEM level of refreshing and shows approximately 10 miles on the odometer since that effort was finished. To maintain some practicality, the model featured the flip-open rumble seat for additional riders, but for many buyers, the recently introduced Ford 90-degree V-8 engine was a major attraction. This car features that 21-stud 221 CI flathead engine, rated that year at an increased 85 HP and equipped with a downdraft carburetor. It received the floor-shifted 3-speed transmission as well. Like deluxe versions, the black paint is accented with a cream stripe, and it features dual horns. Other exterior components were the new-for-’34 chrome grille, headlamp bezels, chrome bumpers with bumper guards, cowl lamps, chrome windshield frame, draft deflectors and luggage rack. Crowning the top edge of the grille is a beautiful greyhound mascot. Inside is the reappointed tan mohair interior, featuring simulated woodgrain accents and spartan accessories. Nonetheless, the car features wire wheels painted in a complementary cream with chrome “V8” hubcaps, Goodyear diamond-tread tires and a rear-mounted spare with accompanying metal casework. Beautiful throughout, these cars were never as common as the more practical Tudor design; do not miss this opportunity to own one of the true classics of the early Ford V-8 legacy.

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.

One of the superb classic-era Packards from the Bruce Church Collection, this 1932 Packard Eight 902 Coupe also qualifies as a Full Classic, according to the Classic Car Club of America. The Ninth Series Packards were introduced in mid-June 1931 as the shadow of the Great Depression continued to lengthen across the American economic landscape. Management feared a low turnout for its annual Detroit sales meeting as dealers toiled to sweep their showrooms clean of the previous year’s Eighth Series cars. The 1931 addition of Cornelius Van Ranst—who engineered the ill-fated front-wheel-drive Cord L29—had caused further concern among Packard dealers, who feared it would result in a radical new lineup. However, the June 20, 1931, edition of “Automobile Topics” reassured the world that the 1932 lineup was “not only modernized in appearance, but invigorated with revised concepts of automotive engineering … showing no deviation from Packard’s conservative and well-planned course of progress … styling is a little less severe than that of most recent Packards, yet it holds that peculiar refinement which has distinguished this line for many years, and which likewise has many times successfully defied attempts at competition.” The changes were numerous but subtle; the emblem was moved to just above the crank-hole cover, windshields tilted back 7 degrees to reduce reflections and window openings and belt moldings recontoured. Vent doors replaced the louvers on the engine side covers, and dual horns, dual side-mount spares with side mirrors on metal covers, a rear luggage rack and full rear bumper were available as options. In addition to those highlights, this comprehensively restored 1932 Packard 902 rumble-seat coupe also features the bumper-mounted Harmonic Stabilizers introduced that year. Wrapped in attractive two-tone gray and black with superb brightwork, it rides on wide whitewall tires fitted to sparkling chromed wire wheels and features a newer leather interior with refinished burled-wood accents. A “Goddess of Speed” hood mascot, chromed grille stone guard and Trippe Safety Speedlights add to this Packard’s magnificent presentation.

This stunning 1934 Packard Eight 1101 Coupe Roadster from the Bruce Church Collection is a fascinating automobile from Packard’s classic era. A Classic Car Club of America Full Classic, it won an Antique Automobile Club of America Senior Award in 2010 and was displayed at the 2011 Boca Raton Concours d’Elegance and the 2012 Concours d'Elegance of Eastern United States. Known in Packard nomenclature as the Eleventh Series, the 1934 Packard Eight retained many of the features that had contributed to the success of the Tenth Series, but with revisions that included extended front fenders over a slotted front bumper carrying Packard’s Harmonic Stabilizers (also used at the rear), new running boards and door handles, a feathered “Goddess of Speed” radiator mascot, a tail light-mounted license bracket, higher seat backs and more luxurious upholstery. Mechanically, the new car incorporated an oil cooler and oil filter, self-lubricating suspension, ride control and the silky-smooth 320/120 HP inline-8 engine. This comprehensively restored Packard’s arresting tangerine and metallic silver paint and superb brightwork emphasize the bold elegance found throughout in features such as wide whitewall tires on chromed wire wheels, chromed grille guard, twin horns and fender lamps, Pilot-Ray self-steering safety lights, dual side-mount spares with painted metal covers, accessory mirrors and a manual folding top. The interior features pristine white leather upholstery, also seen in the rumble-seat compartment, beautifully refinished burled-wood accents and a jewel-like instrument panel. Bruce Church owned this car twice, having bought it back from the Wilkesboro, North Carolina, doctor to whom he had sold it years earlier. He then commenced the restoration, changing it from its original red to its present exquisite color scheme. Upon its completion, he displayed it at the Boca Raton Concours, where an enthusiastic Jay Leno was seen admiring this wonderful classic-era Packard’s overwhelming beauty.
