Giant Step Initiative
1940 Ford Super Deluxe Coupe
The Giant Step Initiative transforms the 1940 Ford Super Deluxe Coupe into an ultra-widebody DUB Edition show car that balances classic American restomod heritage with bold, high-gloss luxury. Extending iconic fender lines with smooth, exaggerated flares and polished chrome vent panels, the build amplifies presence while preserving the coupe’s unmistakable silhouette. The candy apple crimson paint with subtle gold flake and matte black two-tone roof pays homage to early 2000s DUB culture, marrying vintage form with modern opulence.
Mechanically faithful, the original flathead V8 receives subtle upgrades for reliability and smooth cruising, maintaining an authentic period look through chrome valve covers and polished intake manifold visible beneath a glass-encased engine bay. The stance is aggressive yet refined, featuring air suspension and staggered 22-inch Forgeline wheels wrapped in low-profile Pirelli tires, emphasizing a poised yet show-ready posture that commands attention in urban environments.
