Illustration of the "as originally released" 1938 Ford Standard Coupe from the original Sales Brochure.
Note absence of chrome trim on the Grille, no full length body chrome strips and painted Windscreen Frame.
It is apparent that sales of these early Standard models was disappointing and Ford added extra trim very early on to entice buyers.
Today, these "plain" early 1938 Ford Standard models are very rare.
