Description

FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While attending a classic car show at Morgan Park located in Glen Cove, New York one of the more prestigious Classic Car shows on Long Island each year, I came across this beautiful 1938 Ford Two Door Sedan. The car was in mint condition and I saw an opportunity to take several photos while the crowd was just starting to build up. This great looking car had a dividing line with everything from the door windows and up in solid black and everything below in a beautiful painted red. The car had oversize fenders only in the front and were connected by a running board to the rear fenders which were not as large. This was first year in 1938 that Ford switched the style of the grill and made it a long vertical grill with a heart shape, the grill as you can see in the photo stretched above the front fenders. The car was also equipped with oversize front headlights which appeared to be just buttoned on. Great looking car to be able to see and photograph.

The 1938 recession hurt sales, as did Ford's continuing of the 1937 cars, including most body panels. 1938 DeLuxe models were differentiated with a heart-shaped grille, though standard models retained the 1937 look. The fading Slantback sedan design was cancelled for good. Only a V8 was offered, either a 60 hp V8 or a 85 hp V8.[3] A new dash was used, with recessed controls for safety.The 1938 trucks were finally updated, having continued with 1935 looks. Changes included a vertical oval grille and substantial fenders and bumpers.
