40 FORD STANDARD COUPE
Over sixty years after its introduction, the 1940 Ford remains to this day a
classic in most everyone’s sense of the word. Even those people that do not
consider themselves car enthusiasts recognize and generally appreciate the
clean design of the Fabulous Forty.
Henry Ford, the founder of the company, is widely remembered as a
mechanical genius and the man who developed the modern assembly line,
among many other accomplishments. But designing past what was needed
to foster efficient assembly was simply not one of Henry’s priorities. Through
the company’s early years, Henry’s history making Model T’s were largely the
same year after year and all painted black just to simplify production.
The job of styling each year’s new Fords was left to Henry’s son, Edsel. By
the 1930’s, Edsel’s positive influence was evident throughout the lineup.
For the 1939 model year, Edsel and his staff moved the headlamps on the
new Ford DeLuxe out to the fenders instead of on either side of the radiator
grille. It was one of the first models designed in Ford’s new in-house styling
department at the company’s headquarters in Dearborn and also one of the
first that did not have Henry’s ham-fisted influence.
1940 carried over the new-for-’39 front end styling to include both the
DeLuxe and less expensive Standard models as well as a new body nearly
nine inches longer than the previous model. The result was a car that was not

only good looking, but also more spacious for its occupants.
While offering fewer color choices and less chrome trim than the DeLuxe,
the Standard models still had that wonderfully flowing design. This was especially true in the case of the coupe, the subject of your Revell kit.
Also commonly called an "opera" coupe at the time, the ’40 Standard came
equipped with the 60 horsepower version of the famous flathead V8 along
with a new-for-’40 steering column mounted shift lever. Available colors
included Lyon Blue, Cloud Mist Gray and the ever popular Black with the
upper dashboard finished in Briarwood Brown. Wheels were painted black
on Standards regardless of body color and the right side tail lamp remained
an extra cost option.
Whether you build up your coupe to look like how it would have when it
rolled off the showroom floor in 1940 or as a modern street rod with a flame
paint job and chrome engine and wheels borrowed from your other Revell
kits, we hope you find as much enjoyment as we did developing your new
1940 Ford Standard Coupe.
