Looks like a 1940 car to me.

Re: Firewall ID
I believe that is for a 39 deluxe Ford car. 40 had a more pronounced area where the choke/throttle rods exit and a little different at the bottom for the "feet" as well.

Re: Firewall ID
It's '39 deluxe or early '40. There's no holes for the windshield wiper motor to bolt on. The wiper motor bracket should be spot welded to the inside of the firewall. I've seen early '40s with the spot welded bracket

Re: Firewall ID
No cutout/box for battery on passenger side = 1940; was not aware of change for choke/throttle rod "bumps" for mid-late production, something else to look for when checking cars out.

Re: Firewall ID
I thought the '40 had a notch in the driver side for the shift rod on top of the column.

Re: Firewall ID
I'd say this '39 Deluxe is a dead ringer. DD
