Re: 1939 coupe project
Great lookin' car. I don't now a lot about the pre-war cars, but this must be a DeLuxe because of the banjo wheel, right?

Re: 1939 coupe project
Based on the grill and front of the car it is a Standard. I don't know the history of this car. I did think the steering wheel looked like a top of the line version.

Re: 1939 coupe project
Tubman, in 38 the standard and deluxe had totally different body styles. I prefer the look of the standard myself, but many like the deluxe. To a large extent the look of the deluxe of one year looked similar to the standard of the next year. So a 38 dlx looks very similar to a 39 std and a 39 dlx looks similar to a 40 std. These are photos of a 38 std (the straight hood line and grill lines) and the 38 dlx with the drop down hood and more curved grill.

Re: 1939 coupe project
Sorry Tubman, misread what you were saying! The bodies are different on the sedans, but you probably know that, LOL.

Re: 1939 coupe project
Yeah, I think that Ford got it bass-ackward back in '38 - The Standard is so much more attractive than the Deluxe IMO....
