Flathead V8 • 3-Speed Manual • Extensive Documentation

This 1939 Ford Business Coupe comes with an exceptional history file documenting its restoration and maintenance over the last several years.

According to accompanying records, the car remained in the same family from 1948 until recently. After decades of ownership and a 1968 engine rebuild, it underwent a body-off restoration completed in 2013, including refinishing of the frame, body, interior, wiring, fuel system, and numerous mechanical components.

Additional invoices totaling more than $25,000 from 2022–2025 document continued improvements including paint correction, body refinishing, new 16-inch wheels, Coker wide whitewall tires, banjo steering wheel installation, upholstery work, mechanical servicing, a Stromberg carburetor, and new shock absorbers.

Finished in black over a restored interior and powered by its Flathead V8 paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, this Ford Business Coupe is accompanied by restoration invoices, parts receipts, workshop records, and auction documentation, offering an unusually complete picture of its long-term care and preservation.
