Notice the Standard tan knobs on the dash of the Deluxe and also no ashtray knobs.

If I were a Ford dealer back then, I'd have been very impressed with all the new features over the '39 with which I'm very familiar!! Wish my vacuum wipers worked as well as those in the video!


Also, the wardrobes back then....quite a contrast to today!!!

Excellent video! About those wipers, I think they speeded up the film. If not, they were going downhill fast in low gear.
