This vintage 1938 Ford Deluxe Convertible Sedan, owned for 42 years by its current custodian, is a standout example of pre-WWII American automotive craftsmanship. Manufactured in the United States during the heart of the Great Depression, this classic sedan bears timeless charm with its black exterior and tan soft-top, perfectly complemented by its brown vinyl upholstery. Powered by a robust 24-stud flathead V8 engine coupled to a three-speed manual transmission, it showcases 16" artillery-style steel wheels and traditional drum brakes, emphasizing its authentic, period-correct features. The vehicle's ownership history is rooted in California since 1983, when the seller's parents originally purchased it, adding a touch of regional nostalgia to this remarkable piece of automotive lineage.
