1940 Ford Deluxe Deluxe Station Wagon

  • Chassis Number: 185851889
  • Body Number: 11725
The first owner of this 1940 Ford Deluxe Station Wagon was Mr. G.L. Thunberg in Santa Rosa, California. It wears body number 11725 which suggests it was the last 1940 Station Wagon built at Ford's Iron Mountain plant. The car remained in the Thunberg's care until 1964, when they sold it to its current owner. The car current shows 47,000 original miles and is in great condition. It has darker gumwood panels as opposed to the usual birch.

In 2004, the car was treated to a body-on refurbishing which included a new varnish, new paint, new running boards, and new top material. Much of the interior was left unchanged. The engine compartment has been restored to factory-new conditions and shows about 5,000 miles on the engine. A Columbia two-speed axle, vacuum brake booster, and a 12-volt system were aftermarket upgrades that have been fitted to make the car even more enjoyable. Options on this car include a radio, antenna, dealer-applied hood under-seal, and extendable side-view mirrors.

In 2008, this vehicle was offered for sale at the 'Sports & Classics of Monterey' presented by RM Auctions where it had an estimated value of $110,000 - $130,000. It was sold for a high bid of $136,400 including buyer's premium.
