    There are 2 different models in each year, Standard and Deluxe.

    Look at them on carnut.com

    go to "car pics"
    then click on ford, then pick the year. each year will give you a choice of either model. Hundreds of pics to view by quick thumbnail, then expand if you see one you like.


    38 Deluxe will sort of look like a 39 standard

    What he said. There are too many differences to list. Basically everything above the ch***is is different, but the '39 standard does look similar to a '38.

    A '39 deluxe looks much like a '40 standard.

    You need to look at a lot of pictures. The '38 is really more like a '37 body. Notice how the rear fenders on a '38 stick out behind the rear body panel.
