I read a thread RE: Forty Ford Heaters was there a option for a heater. My Owners Manual doesnt reflect any heater/defroster option. I am sure I am not well informed. What do you experts have to say thanks Much Dale

Start working your way through the titles of the threads and you will come upon much discussion about both the hot water and hot air heaters. Pat’s 40 Ragtop

Dale, The owner manual does not call out any "options". There was both a hot water heater as well as a hot air heater in 1940. I have attached two photos that will in part depict each type. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Dale, it is possible that your coupe never had a heater. Both heaters were extra cost items and cars that were sold new in the warmer climates were seldom equipped with the heater. Tom

Hi Dale--The tiny little 1940 Ford Accessories Booklet shows pictures of both the Hot Water and Hot Air heaters. Both could be purchased in 1940 for your new car - for $21.00. If you haven't purchased Mike's outstanding book "It's Ford For '40" yet - highly recommended. Chapter 5 deals exclusively with Accessories, and discusses both the hot water and hot air heaters. Go to the dark blue part of your screen, click on "Online Store", then click on the link for "Ford Books". Good luck with your Coupe and have a nice weekend. Tom
