1949 Ford Station Wagon with 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe What a Difference a Decade Makes In 1940, as the country eased out of the Depression, the American public wanted style and flair. The 1940 Fords, designed by Eugene Gregorie, featured a big front grille, large front fenders, sweeping body curves and a long deck. Because of these lines, hot rodders then and now loved these coupes. This 1:24 scale precision die-cast replica has been tricked up inside and out. The exterior features a definitely not standard baby blue paint job with flames and wide whitewalls. The engine is all customized chrome. The front bench seats have been replaced with buckets and the rear seat completely removed. 1949 was a different time. Returning G.I.'s had started families making safety and value most important. Ford's 2-door Station Wagon now was a family transporter with all-steel top and subframe. The only wood was the side panels. George Walker's slab-side design with one continuous line from front to rear gave it a sleek modern look. Hauling a customized '40 Deluxe Coupe on the die-cast trailer, complete with folding ramps, you can see in a glance what a difference a decade made. 1940 Deluxe Coupe • 8" Long • Opening Doors • Opening Hood and Trunk 1949 Station Wagon • 9" Long • Opening Hood and Doors Features • Detailed Interiors • 1:24 Scale Models • Working Steering Systems • Precision Die-Cast Replicas • Removable Trailer with Folding Ramps
