Re: 1938 Ford Standard Coupe
Thanks for posting pictures of all three cars. It was bugging me that I didn't have pictures of them, now I do.

Re: 1938 Ford Standard Coupe
Thanks again, another picture copied to my files.
Well I'm off to go look at a 38 standard coupe. I hope it is as good in person as it looks in pictures. |

Re: 1938 Ford Standard Coupe
While this Post is about 1938 Ford Standard Coupes, as mentioned in #10, Ford Australia never offered the regular Coupe body style, only Club Coupes in both Standard and Deluxe. This is a picture of an Australian 1938 Ford Standard Club Coupe, a model that was not available in the USA. It is fitted with After-market Head Light Surrounds and also has an extra Tail Light added on the passenger side. |

Re: 1938 Ford Standard Coupe
"1938 Coupe,
I remember seeing that early 38 standard coupe at the 2013 meet in Lake Tahoe. It was an amazing condition unrestored car. In the same row of cars were two other 38 standards, one with the side trim and the painted windshield, and the last with all the shiny parts. I can't for the life of me find a picture of all three cars together. Oh well, I'll add another of the very nice early 38 coupe" I think I took pics of most every vehicle there at the 2013 GNM in Lake Tahoe, but finding all of them now might take awhile

Hi Phil, I frequently have the same problem. I don't know what causes it, but have found a tedious method to fix it. I find another thread where someone posted a picture that shows up as a link instead of the picture. I right click the link and select open in new tab. Then I and am asked to log in again. I log in a second time, including the "stay logged in" check box. Once I have done that all the pictures posted are visible. Currently the thread titled 1946 1947 1948 has a link that works for me.

Re: 1938 Ford Standard Coupe
Slightly off topic question Phil, is your 38 deluxe coupe a business coupe or a club coupe?
I'm curious since I hadn't realized Aussie 38 coupes were all club coupes. |

Re: 1938 Ford Standard Coupe
The principal difference is that the club coupe has a back seat. It also has an extended roof for headroom for the back seat passengers. On the American model there were flip-out rear windows for ventilation.

A Club Coupe will have a back seat of smaller dimensions than in a Sedan, usually suitable for children or for two adults. Exteriors of these two models are sometimes hard to distinguish between, the main differences being in how they are fitted out.

Re: 1938 Ford Standard Coupe
cars2cool, check out this illustrations of the 1938 Ford Deluxe Coupe and 1938 Ford Deluxe Club Coupe from the original Sales Brochure. Notice that the Coupe has short doors from a Fordor Sedan while the club Coupe has the longer doors from a Tudor Sedan. I had to use pictures of the Deluxe models, as Ford in USA never offered a 1938 Ford Standard Club Coupe. However, Australia did offer a 1938 Ford Standard Club Coupe. Hope that this helps. |
