What is a Ford Super Deluxe?

Quick Answer
Super Deluxe was Ford's top trim from 1941 to 1948, above the standard Deluxe, with more brightwork and nicer interiors. The convertible and the wood-bodied wagon were Super Deluxe body styles. All used the flathead V8, 221 then 239 cubic inches.

Super Deluxe sat at the top of the prewar and early-postwar Ford line.

Where it fits

Below it were the standard Deluxe and base cars. The Super Deluxe added trim and was the trim level for the desirable convertible and woodie wagon. The flathead V8 grew from 221 cubic inches before the war to 239 after.

Buyer's note

A 1946-1948 Super Deluxe convertible or woodie is the prize; the wood on a wagon is the whole car, so budget for restoration if it is tired.
