Info for ‘42 Super Deluxe Sedan

[Cool Hand Lurker]

l bought one at auction on a very low bid, (the only bid) and was able to talk to the son of the original owner. I think he said there were only around 20,000 of them made and most went to the US Army as staff cars. Very rare, keep it original.
I was lucky as it had very little Minnesota Rust and was driveable.


It is the upper left car in my avatar.

OK, here are some photos of my '42 Fordor, which has been sold to a friend who had more room than I did.

It’s much nicer than mine. Do you mind if I ask the sale price? If you prefer, you can email me at [email protected].

At this time it is running, stopping and drivable after sitting since 1976. I think I might be able to shorthand some things for you. My regular email is [email protected] and my cell# is 574-702-3673. 42's are interesting cars. Some things carried over from 1941 and some things carried over into 1946 while some items are 1942 only. I've been able to find a surprising amount of NOS parts for mine. That it was your wife's Great grandfathers car...priceless. We love pictures!

Hey John, I have a newbie question… how can you identify a Deluxe vs a Super Deluxe?

Farm Finds, a Deluxe uses the 41 Super Deluxe bumpers where the Super Deluxe uses the bumper design carried forward to 1946. Super also has mouldings on the fenders and has the trim around the windows. Horn button uses a horn ring. Clock was standard on the Super Deluxe as well as a passenger armrest. Your car is a Super Deluxe.

It was $1800 back in 2017. My friend pulled the heads before trying to start it and it had a mouse nest that he had to clean up before it was ready to drive around the farm.

I don't feel too bad about mine. The asking price was $1,000, but I bought it for $300
