The De Luxe Fords of 1938 featured a more sloping hood and ornamental heart-shaped grille.

This look was passed on to the standard line for 1939, as the De Luxe Fords gained sharp v-shaped grilles with vertical bars.

The standard line once again inherited the De Luxe look for 1940, this time with body-colored vertical bars.
