1941 Ford Super Deluxe

1941 Ford Super Deluxe Tudor Sedan

For consignment, a 1941 Ford Super Deluxe Tudor sedan with a title verified 22,436 actual miles. Heres an award winning example, once part of the collection of a Ford dealership owner, original as can be with many rebuilt or newer components that yield a well-sorted, show worthy Super Deluxe.

Exterior
Lockhaven Green is the exterior color and its an objectively spectacular choice, one that was available in 41 amongst similar tones of blues, grays, and greens. It looks right because it is right and according to our consignor, original. The green can be seen between the hubcaps and beauty rings on wheels wrapped in white wall tires, all looking ideal. Wide fenders house the headlights in front, pinching a rather narrow grille over a chrome bumper and bumper push guard, while yellow fog lights add a blast of color ahead of the side grilles. In profile, subtle trim dresses the side and fenders while the tall roofline drops to a slant back where diminutive tail lights flank the trunk under an oval rear window. Imperfection include an area of sand marks, some rough surfaces, cracking paint, runs, rock spray, chipping plating on the underside of the rear bumper, dings, scratches, and deglazing on a window.

Interior
Rose colored door panels include polished hardware with ivory handles including one crank for the vent windows, or ventilating wings as Ford refers to them. The doors were widened for 41 extending past the front seats to allow easier access to the back. The doors are in good shape but show some water staining on the lower panels. Up front, beige broadcloth adorns the split bench seat showing some small tears but otherwise in nice condition and the rear bench is excellent, configured with Fords floating edges . Up front, the original steering wheel and dashboard exhibit a variety of colors, textures, and design, all working together for a fantastic presentation. A beige trim plate spans the dash and the horizontal gauges are further framed in woodgrain motif with ivory colored knobs below. As was standard, the front floor gets a rubberized mat while the further back gets a low pile carpet. The trunk is fully lined and houses a spare and jack.

Drivetrain
Power the sedan is a 221ci flathead V8, rated at 90 horsepower and fueled with a 2-barrel carburetor. Its matched with a 3-speed manual transmission routing power to the rear axle with 3.78 gears. Our consignor states the distributor, coil, and fuel pump have been rebuilt.

Undercarriage
POR-15 shines things up and protects the underside where a new single exhaust system flows through a stock style muffler on its way to rear exit with ornamental chrome deflector. Drum brakes are at all four wheels and transverse leaf springs make up suspension front and rear.

Drive-Ability
This classic must have felt like a golden chariot in 41, and based on the smiles in the brochure, that was the intent. Its originality puts a smile on our face too as we roll the flathead onto the test loop where the car delivers all that is expected, a smooth ride, comfortable interior, and decent visibility through large side windows. All functions work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

It doesnt get more classic than the final year of the pre war era, and this 41 is a shining example of burgeoning engineering and design. If youre in the market for a vintage Ford, take a close look at this original. It checks all the boxes!
