During the U.S. Prohibition era (1920 to 1933), this ’39 Ford Sedan Deluxe’s predecessors were the vehicles of choice, used for running moonshine and other spirits throughout the country thanks largely to the powerful (for that time) flathead V-8 engine that powered them, relatively good handling, and, of course, a roomy trunk.
