Is my 40 Convertible considered a Deluxe, Standard or could be either? Trying to figure out what I have and what is missing?

The grill is a deluxe. The standard grill has vertical bars like the '39 deluxe. The are a lot of other differences but I don't know enough about the '40's to even start to list them. You should get a copy of the club's book to use as you work on the car. The book will save you a lot of money in the long run. Charlie Stephens

Thanks, But what book are you referring to? The one Kube is writing or something else? Frank

I was referring to the one TonyM showed. It is available in the book section of this site, https://www.earlyfordv8.org/store-product-item.cfm?id=19&pid=2 I believe some of the suppliers also stock this book. Charlie Stephens This message was edited by CharlieStephens on 9-1-15 @ 12:21 PM

So am I to understand that all 40 Convertibles are a Deluxe?

Frank, ALL 1940 Convertible Club Coupes were deluxe. There are no records of any "standard" models being built as such - not even a prototype. Mike

Thanks I thought so from all the aftermarket parts books photos but needed confirmation from the experts. I may be an expert mechanic and repair manual writer and publisher but I don't have a lot of knowledge about early model vehicles. Thanks again Frank
