The Ford car was updated in 1941, in preparation for a time of unpredictability surrounding WWII. The 1941 design would continue in an aborted 1942 model year and would not be restarted until 1946. Ford halted its truck and car lines on Feb. 10, 1942 to begin war production, but not before a short run of 1942 cars was built, making this 1942 a rare year!
Changes were made besides a 3-part "electric shaver" grille--and the parking lights were moved from the top of the fenders to between the grille and headlights. Tail lights were enlarged and moved from vertical to horizontal. The frame was lowered and softer springs were used to improve the ride. The dashboard was changed, moving the radio from the top of the dash to lower down, and the linear speedometer and clock were replaced with round ones. The radio had optional floor button, so you could change pre-selected stations without moving your hands. War rationing required auto makers to black out their chrome trim, and special 4-door model was produced with no chrome for military use.
