New toy....
40 Deluxe. This my new toy (not a truck this time). I couldn't resist. I may have lots of non-truck questions for those of you in the know. This is a restored car but needs a bit of TLC.

Re: New toy....
Congratulations. It is nice to see a Fordor for a change, as a lot of people ignore this body style. |

Here is an Australian assembled 1940 Ford Deluxe Fordor Sedan. They are few and far between in this part of the world. I am led to believe that only 1656 examples of the 1940 Ford Deluxe Fordor Sedans were sold in Australia, plus 243 1940 Ford Standard Fordor Sedans. From these numbers, you can see why so few remain. |

Re: New toy....

Re: New toy....
That's how Ford Marketing has always referred to 4-Door Sedans - Fordor. They refer to 2-Door Sedans as Tudor....

Re: New toy....
Love it Mark. Does this mean the T will be on the back burner for a while?

Re: New toy....
i couldn't pick any color neater... Every model from that year can captivate me.
Don't ask about decisions I've made, rather than satisfy that itch. Good for you. You the man.

Re: New toy....
Ok guys, I have 2 important questions.
I need to put turn signals on this car(that you can really see), what is the easiest, inexpensive way to do that? I need to put seat belts in (front and back), same question. I am guessing that there are kits for both? thank you in advance. Mark |

Re: New toy....
On my avatar 36 I used the stop lights in rear added yellow fog lights to front & used the wired through relays (6volt bosch VW ) for front turn signals. Work great.

Re: New toy....
Juliano's would be a good source for seat belts. 19fordy had a good thread on installation of seatbelts in his 40 car, not sure if model is the same but might be similar 6-26-17.

Re: New toy....
I've always been a Washington Blue with Tacoma Cream accents but I think I've got a new favorite color. I know didly squat about '40's but Drake lists this kit for front turn signals but it is only for Deluxe models so I don't know if that is what you have or not. https://www.bobdrake.com/FordItem.aspx?Item=HR-13082
