See below for Diana and Miguel’s story
Diana and Miguel, inherited this one of a kind 1940 Ford Deluxe from our longtime members John & Virginia Wolf.
John and Virginia enjoyed their four antique cars and attended the Valley V8 club meetings and events for decades. They were long time members of the Valley V8 club and loved the meetings, parties, tours and friendships. In their later years, they would bring the entire family to the annual picnic and the annual Christmas Party to enjoy the Christmas Carols, Swearing in of Officers, and of course, the raffle. Miguel & Diana currently live too far away to attend the meetings and parties but keep in touch with many of the members and cherish their memories of when they were able to attend.
John owned and restored different cars during his lifetime, but this one was John’s first and favorite. Diana was just a child when John was going to swap meets every weekend and searching for and acquiring perfect parts to build his dream car – a 1940 Ford Deluxe. He worked tirelessly for many years, enlisting many of his extremely talented friends to help (details in the attached article), and once completed, had his masterpiece featured in the April 1978 Issue of Popular Hot Rodding Magazine. John is also remembered as an American Hot Rod Foundation “Hot Rod Pioneer”, as can be seen on their website: https://ahrf.com/pioneer/john-wolf/
Miguel & Diana feel blessed to have this car, part of John’s legacy, to enjoy and share at local car shows. The attached picture shows them at the 2025 Boulder City Jamboree Car Show, where they received an award. If you’re ever in Boulder City or Big Bear Lake, they’d love it if you’d reach out.
