Monogram 4371 '40 Ford Standard Coupe

The 1940 Ford Coupe (Ford Coupe 1940 for short) was an American civilian passenger car that today could be classified as a middle class car from the Second World War. The drive was provided by a single, 8-cylinder Ford Flathead engine with a capacity of 60 HP. The Ford Coupe 1940 was created to replace the previous year's Coupe in the Ford Motor Company offer. Compared to its predecessor, it differed primarily in the design of the body and body. It is also one of the first Ford models in which such an emphasis was placed on this element during the design work. It is worth adding that the 1940 model was slightly longer than its predecessor, which allowed to save more space in the passenger compartment. The car was offered in two versions: Standard and Deluxe. However, the imminent US accession to World War II (December 1941) and the switch of Ford plants to war production inhibited the production and development of the Ford Coupe.
