Seller states:

Initially purchased in 1937 by a wealthy family in Lake Forest, Illinois, this car was acquired for the family’s caretaker, who used it to drive the children to school and recreational activities such as beach outings.

As the family bought a new car every year for this purpose, the Ford was traded back to the local dealer just one year after its initial purchase.

On November 30, 1938, this delightful Phaeton found a more permanent home when it was bought by Mr.

and Mrs.

Leon Emmert.

Dubbed “Claudia” in honor of Mrs.

Emmert’s hairdresser, this car became a prized possession of the Emmert family that has remained with them until recently.

Spending most of those 74 years garaged at the Emmerts’ lake home in Door County, Wisconsin, this Phaeton has been largely preserved with only a few notable exceptions.

In 1962, new seat covers were installed, but the original upholstery remains underneath for the buyer who might wish to restore the car even more faithfully.

In 1980, the engine and transmission were treated to a rebuild by B.S.

“Wizzy” Wisniewski of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a onetime local legend in the field of American automobile restoration.

During the same year, the car received a quality repaint in its original color.

Other than these few sympathetic restoration measures, this Deluxe Phaeton remains a faithfully preserved example of Ford’s classic open-air cruiser.

Regularly exercised, the car is reported by the consignor to operate and drive with as-new driving characteristics and its 32-year-old cosmetic restoration has nicely mellowed to display a warm patina.

Accompanied by its original side curtains and a lifetime of record keeping, including the original 1938 purchase contract, 1938 title, and a maintenance file that stretches over 74 years, this Ford is a benchmark example and its comprehensive documentation is matched only by its select ownership and remarkable originality.

Car has many rare accessories including wind wings, radio, metal spare tire cover and hot air heater as seen on floorboard.

Payment due seven days after close of auction.

Email with questions or call.

Seller states:

1939 FORD V-8 DELUXE

Offered for sale for the first time in over 30 years is this amazing 1939 Ford Coupe!!!

A Southern California car since new, it still retains it’s black and yellow plates issued in 1963!!

In the late 1970′s, this car was purchased from its original owner. At the time of purchase it was considered

to be an extremely nice original unrestored example. The original female owner had used it as her everyday

transportation for many years, and although it was rust free and had never been in an accident, it was tired and in need of repair.

The current owner set as his goal to build the finest example possible, without regard to cost.

Some of the most talented craftsmen in the business were employed to help achieve this goal.

Metal and paint work were performed by a master craftsman employed by the famous Nethercutt Museum.

A founding member of The SoCalSpeed Shop and Bonneville record holder rebuilt the original Flathead V-8.

Original style interior was crafted and installed by legendary Tony Nancy.

Although restored in the 1980′s, this beautiful ’39 Coupe has travelled less than 800 miles and has been on display in a climated controlled facility as part of a private Ford automobile collection.

The current owner has reluctantly decided to market this pristine example, with the true desire of finding a new caretaker who will cherish it and enjoy it’s use. It is offered for a very fair and reasonable price, far below what it would cost to replace.

The quality and attention to detail could not be duplicated for the reserve asking price.

Please be assured this is an extremely high quality restoration of an original rust free southern California car. If you are seriously searching for great ’39 Ford, this car is for you. Vehicle is available for inspection by serious qualified bidders. The seller reserves the right to end the auction at any time.

Thank you for viewing this auction and happy bidding!
