GarageScout Take

Long-term ownership since 2004 and documented recommissioning work distinguish this Fordor, while its 1939-specific hydraulic drum setup and uncommon black exterior give it clear first-year identity.

Strengths

  • Long-term current ownership since 2004.
  • Recent recommissioning work includes brake, fuel, carburetor, ignition, and throttle-linkage repairs.
  • 1939 model year with four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes introduced that year.
  • Replacement black and red vinyl bench seating.

Watch For

  • Bodywork has rust, cracking, chips, and other imperfections throughout, with additional rust underneath.
  • The windows are delaminating and the dashboard is corroded.
  • The Universal whitewall tires show signs of dry rot.
  • The rear main seal is leaking, total mileage is unknown, and the Pennsylvania title carries an Antique Vehicle brand.
