Women with Ice Boat and Ford Super Deluxe Fordor, February 1941

Summary

Ford models received all-new styling for 1941. The longer wheelbase and wider body allowed for a larger interior. The three-piece grille featured a traditional center section with two smaller, secondary grilles at the sides. The popular V-8 remained, but Ford added a new six-cylinder engine to its lineup. Total production for the year topped 600,000 units.
