Vehicle Story

This 1939 Ford 5-Window Coupe underwent a nut-and-bolt restoration commissioned by the prior owner, a California car collector who purchased the vehicle from Volo Auto Museum. Power is provided by the original 221ci “Flathead” V8, which was rebuilt by Doug Clem out of Nevada, and it is mated to a manual transmission. The body is finished in Folkston Gray over a gray cloth interior, and suspension upgrades provide ride quality. This Coupe is offered with a clean Montana title in the seller’s name.

A Folkstone Gray respray was applied during the restoration, and the finish is complemented by chrome brightwork, split windshield and rear window, vertical grille, teardrop headlamps, and more. Exterior work was carried out by Tims Rod Shop in Sacramento, California.

Whitewall tires are mounted on factory bottlecap wheels with chrome beauty rings and “V8” center cap badges. Additional photos showing the exterior are provided in the gallery.

The bench seat is covered in gray cloth with white piping, and the base color is carried to the door panels and carpet. Other features include a wood grain dash with a passenger-side clock, a gray banjo style steering wheel, and a floor-mounted shifter.

Instrumentation consists of a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for oil pressure, battery charge, fuel level, and engine temperature. 329 miles are indicated on the odometer, which represents mileage since completion of the restoration. Total mileage is unknown.

The original 221ci “Flathead” V8 was rebuilt by renowned flathead specialist Doug Clem in Nevada and is mated to a manual transmission.

QA1 shocks have been added, additional photos of the undercarriage are provided in the gallery.

Receipts and documentation from the restoration are included in the sale.
