Re: Rare 1938 Ford Standard Roadster
Went to a Swap Meet on the weekend, and this 1938 Ford Standard Coupe Ute was for sale for $8000. There are not many good Utes left in Australia. Until recently, they were unloved and many were used as "parts cars" for other body styles. It is only recently that Utes have become sought after. This old girl has had a very hard life and needs a lot of help to bring it back to good condition. |

Re: Rare 1938 Ford Standard Roadster
We were there too,pity we didn't catch up! It was a sad old Ute, seemed to have a lot of '40 stuff fitted to it . Did it sell? We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of early V8 parts on offer , doesn't happen down here anymore.....we brought back a truckload of stuff including a '40 Std. Ute. Back next year so we'll have to meet up,cheers.....

Hi Mile, This is as good as I can do. This is the Page from the Original Sales Brochure. As you can appreciate, these cars are extremely rare and I would not know where to start looking for one. I believe that one has been make into a Street Rod, but that is about the only one that I have heard of. I have never seen one in real life. They are extremely rare. Regards Mercman <>< |

Re: Rare 1938 Ford Standard Roadster
It is a 1940 & was added as Mike said that a 40 Roadster would be cool. These are so rare, this is the only picture that I could find to prove that Australia did in fact build a Roadster in 1940.

Re: Rare 1938 Ford Standard Roadster
If the previous custonions had of taken good care of this rare car, instead of storing it out in the open, it would have been snached up quickly by enthusiasts. Unfortunately, it seems that the car is now very rusty, and may even require a replacement frame. It is a car worth saving, but the expense would be huge.

Re: Rare 1938 Ford Standard Roadster
The Swap Meet that the 1938 Ford Standard Ute pictured above was the Annual Toowoomba Swap in Queensland. By the way, the only years that Ford Australia offered a Deluxe Ford Ute were 1939 and 1940.

Re: Rare 1938 Ford Standard Roadster
That is a great lookin' car! I always thought Ford styling ended it's summit in 1936, but I'd have one of these in a heartbeat!

Re: Rare 1938 Ford Standard Roadster
That 1938 Ford Standard Roadster ex Argentina is coming along nicely. From this Post, it is obvious that the 1938 Ford Standard Roadsters were not unique to Australia as originally thought? |
