This 1942 Ford Super Deluxe convertible is a modified example that is powered by a 350ci Chevrolet V8 paired with a three-speed Turbo 350 automatic transmission. Finished in burgundy over a two-tone red and tan interior, the car has been fitted with power steering, front disc brakes, a 20-gallon fuel tank, an aftermarket exhaust system, and a 9″ rear end.
