Lot #634.1 - This Brilliant Black 1940 Ford Standard coupe underwent a full restoration with period-correct parts provided by Bob Drake Reproductions. The electrical systems have been converted to 12-volt from the original 6-volt for ease of maintenance. Coupled to a 3-on-the-tree transmission, the 221ci flathead V8 engine received special treatment in the form of Offenhauser aluminum heads and intakes, with custom aluminum air cleaners. This new setup should improve cooling over a stock flathead but does not alter the classic look of the engine bay. A subtle water temperature gauge has been added under the dashboard, but remains the only modification made to the appearance of the tan leather interior.
