The Ford line car was updated in 1937 with one major change - the introduction of entry-level 136Ã, CID (2.2Ã,L) V8 besides the popular 221Ã,Ã CID (3.6Ã, L) flathead V8. This model refreshes its predecessor, Model 48 (itself based on Model 40A), and is the company's main product. It was redesigned more thoroughly in 1941. At the start of production, it cost $ 850. Ford Line spawned several model numbers during this period: For domestic production 1937 at Ford United States Model Number for the 85 hp V-8 car is Model 78 and 60 hp V-8 car is Model 74. Model 81A and 82A in 1938, and Model 91A and 92A in 1939.

1937
The 1937 Ford featured a more rounded display with a fine horizontal line on the convex front and a side-bend grille. The front grille is V-shaped, rather than following the fender into a triangular shape, as in the 1936 model. Faired-in head is the main modernization found in Standard and DeLuxe trim versions, although most of the rest of the design is split between two Ford lines. Larger water pumps are used to help cool down. 'Slantback' sedan gets the back door of the trunk, though space is limited, and the 'Trunkback' version keeps getting sales. The station wagon has seating for eight passengers. A 4-door "convertible sedan" with rolling windows is offered in small quantities in the DeLuxe series.

1938
The 1938 recession hurt sales, just as Ford continued the 1937 car, including most body panels. 1938 DeLuxe model is distinguished by a heart-shaped grille, although the standard model maintains the 1937 display. The faded Slantback sedan design is canceled for good. Only V8 is offered, either V8 hp 60s or 85-hp V8. New dashboard is used, with hidden controls for security.
The 1938 trucks were finally renewed, after being followed by 1935 sighted. Changes include a vertical oval grille and a large fender and bumper.
1939
Ford's display was re-modernized for 1939 - Deluxe uses a low pointed grille with a heavier vertical bar, while the standard Ford has a higher grille with a horizontal divider. The headlights (illustrated example have been converted to '40 sealed Ford headlamps - buls and reflectors lamps used in the 39s, the last year for these lights) are moved further apart, now sitting almost in front of the wheels. The side grille and grille are removed for chrome strips on the Deluxe model. The "crocodile" cap opens far from the top of the back grille, removing the side panels found on the previous model.
Phaeton model, club coupe, and convertible club coupe are stopped. The engine was also revised for 1939 with a downdraft carburetor widening the torque band but leaving the power unchanged at 85 hp (63 kW). Hydraulic brakes are a big advance on the Ford line.
The Ford's top-grade Mercury line also bowed in 1939, filling the gap between the Deluxe Fords and the Lincoln-Zephyr line.
1940
A high flat cover hood dominates the front view of the 1940 model, when the grille spreads to reach the fenders to differentiate the Deluxe line and the wider driven headlamps. The standard Ford inherited the 1939 grille model with power outages on each side of the center of heavy chrome; the heavier bulb surrounds serve as another major differentiator from 1939. 1940 is the last year of the 1937 design and the smaller V8 engine, with a straight-six engine to be reintroduced the following year. The beam sealed-beam light is one of the few great advances for the 1940s, while the hydraulic top is new to the convertible.
Legacy
