To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Hershey event, 4 - 5 October 2023. rnOffered Without Reserve | $40,000 - $50,000 USD rnrnFrom a prominent, climate-controlled collectionrnHighly desirable DeLuxe Convertible modelrnRecipient of AACA Senior National First Prize in 2007, First Prize Grand National in 2010, and Dearborn Award from the Early Ford V-8 Club of AmericarnWonderful presentation courtesy of older restorationrnPowered by the iconic Ford flathead V-8 enginern rnrnFord introduced several new features for the 1940 model year, plus a distinctive body design that many consider to be the pinnacle of the company's styling for the prewar era. Technically, one of the most significant changes was relocating the gearshift lever from the floor to the steering column, a modern feature that was not only more convenient for the driver, but also increased front-seat legroom for passengers.rnrnFord also introduced sealed-beam headlights in 1940, finally eliminating the persistent problem of moisture degrading the reflectivity of headlights, which had relied on separate bulbs. The sealed beams sat at the front of the fenders in oval chrome housings that also incorporated the parking lights, merging earlier Fords' covered-headlight treatment with the improved efficiency and durability of the sealed-beam bulbs. For these reasons and more, the 1940 models are among the most coveted prewar Fords, with the DeLuxe Convertible like the one offered here being the most desirable body style. rnrnThis example has benefitted from diligent care over the years, to include a restoration. Adorning the front end of the car are several medallions indicating the Ford's status as an Antique Automobile Club of America Senior National First Prize winner in 2007, a First Prize Grand National Winner in 2010, and a Dearborn Award from the Early Ford V-8 Club of America. Additionally, this DeLuxe Convertible was an entrant at the 2012 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance and the 2003 Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance. Invoices from 2011 and 2012 document over $5,000 worth of cosmetic and mechanical work, further bolstering the quality and appeal of this highly attractive convertible. rnrnAn undeniable classic, the 1940 Ford DeLuxe Convertible presented here will continue to impress on the road and at shows across the country for years to come. rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Hershey event, 4 - 5 October 2023. rnOffered Without Reserve | $150,000 - $160,000 USD rnrnFrom a prominent, climate-controlled collectionrnOne of only 2,274 built for the model year, of which a cherished few have survivedrnDelightful combination of Glade Green over a red leather interior; black convertible toprnFormerly owned by noted woodie collector Nick Alexander; 1998 Early Ford V-8 Club Dearborn Award-winnerrnA beautifully restored example of one of the most desirable post-war Fordsrn rnrnBy the mid-1940s, it was clear that the age of wood-bodied automobiles was coming to a close. All-steel cars offered too many mass-production advantages, and they were more durable to boot. Yet there was undeniable beauty and a certain charm in hand-crafted wood bodywork, and the last generation of woodies built in the years following World War II are some of the most desirable and sought-after cars of their era. rnrnAs this 1947 Ford Super Deluxe Sportsman Convertible shows, post-war woodies-in direct contrast to the humble, born-of-necessity depot hacks of yore-were exclusive, stylish image-leaders, and they were priced accordingly. At $2,282, the Sportsman Convertible cost over $500 more than a non-woodie Super Deluxe Convertible. Production for 1947 was approximately one-tenth of that of the steel-bodied cars, with just 2,274 built for the model year. rnrnIn addition to exclusivity, and a well-chosen model name that instantly evoked a carefree life in the great outdoors, 1947 Super Deluxe Sportsman Convertible buyers were treated to Ford's signature V-8 power (in this case, a 239-cubic-inch flathead later enhanced with a Mercury crankshaft and Mercury camshaft) paired with a three-speed gearbox. This car is fitted with a Columbia two-speed rear axle, giving it longer legs for highway cruising. rnrnThis Sportsman was previously restored on the east coast by Kent Bank and Chip Webb of Automotive Restorations in Stratford, Connecticut. It is finished in the highly attractive color of Glade Green, which pairs pleasantly with the red leather interior. The black convertible top sports 1946-style red piping. Owned by Melville Warren Garbitt in the 1970s, the car received an AACA National First Prize in 1991. Highly respected woodie collector Nick Alexander purchased it in February 1995 before it received the Early Ford V-8 Club's Dearborn Award at Dearborn in 1998, scoring 995 points.rnrnHaving seen only limited use while in the care of subsequent owners, this Sportsman presents beautifully today, with excellent paint and chromework, a finely detailed cabin including wood-grained dashboard, and, of course, glistening woodwork. The glass sports correct Ford script etching, and the blackwall tires give the car a purposeful, period-correct stance.rnrnA timeless design coupled with a low survival rate has made the Super Deluxe Sportsman Convertible one of the most sought-after of the great woodies, as well as one of the most collectable post-war Fords, and this example is made all the more appealing by its award-winning restoration and years of scrupulous care. A joy to own, drive, and display, a Sportsman such as this would enhance any collection. To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
