This beautifully finished 1939 Ford Deluxe Roadster combines timeless prewar styling with thoughtfully selected modern upgrades and custom craftsmanship throughout. Built around a 1939 Ford convertible body by Westcott Body Inc., the car features extensive steel construction, including a steel hood, inner firewall, cowl, dashboard, and rear inner body panels. The exterior is finished in an attractive Forest Green PPG finish, complemented by polished stainless-steel trim, Bob Drake bumpers, a classic Ford grille, and a tan power-operated convertible top.
Under the hood sits a 1999 GM crate 350ci V8, equipped with an Offenhauser three-carburetor intake manifold, three Rochester 2-Jet carburetors, and an O'Brien air cleaner. Additional engine upgrades include an MSD Blaster II ignition coil, GM alternator, and high-torque starter. Power is delivered through a rebuilt GM Turbo-Hydramatic 350 automatic transmission featuring a mild performance shift kit. The custom dual exhaust system features stainless-steel headers, 2.5-inch exhaust piping, and Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers, providing a distinctive V8 sound.
The chassis and suspension have been extensively upgraded to provide modern driving characteristics while retaining the classic appearance. The original frame rails have been boxed, bead-blasted, and refinished, while the front suspension features a Mustang II-style setup with dropped spindles and Corvette shocks. Braking is handled by Granada front disc brakes with GM calipers, while the rear utilizes a narrowed Ford 8-inch Maverick rear end with a 2.87:1 gear ratio. Additional features include Classic Engineering rear suspension, Corvette gas shocks, and a custom one-piece driveshaft.
The interior is appointed in tan leather upholstery by Geo Cordeme and features Glide Manufacturing seating, a custom banjo steering wheel, and refinished gauges by Classic Instrument. Modern conveniences include air conditioning, power windows, cruise control, and an Alpine radio/CD system with remote control. The car also features a GM/ididit steering column, Genie shifter, and a classic-style emergency brake, blending vintage character with everyday usability.
Rolling on 15-inch Ford-style wheels with classic hubcaps and trim rings, this 1939 Ford Deluxe Roadster presents an impressive combination of traditional hot rod styling and modern mechanical upgrades. Accompanied by detailed wiring information and extensive build specifications, this custom roadster offers a distinctive take on one of Ford's most recognizable prewar designs.

Garage Kept Motors, LLC specializes in classic and specialty online auto sales.
For our consignors, we are the only auto brokers that offer a Transparent Sale Disclosure. This means, when a car sells, we provide an exact copy of the Bill of Sale. We do this so our clients know exactly who bought their car, where it went, and most importantly how much we sold it for. No funny business.
For our buyers, our vehicles are listed on the Internet, with over 100 photos, including undercarriage pictures, and walk-around videos of the vehicles running plus a narrative-style write-up of the cars history and features. Our international exposure allows us to sell cars across the globe, and we sell a majority of them out of state and overseas. We deliver honesty and consistency in our photos and descriptions, a “no surprise” approach, so buyers, both near and far, can invest with confidence sight unseen. We are not a gallery. Vehicles can be seen locally by appointment as potential buyers are given our undivided attention.
