This 1946 Ford Super Deluxe coupe rolls in with a rich maroon exterior, showcasing the iconic post-war design that defined an era. Ford's first civilian car after WWII, this Super Deluxe sports chrome Keystone wheels wrapped in brand new 235/75R15 Goodyear Wrangler tires, giving it a stance that blends vintage style with a touch of modern flair. The sleek body lines, accentuated by the Super Deluxe badging, create a profile unmistakably 40s Ford. Its dual exhaust system hints at the rumble of American muscle, while the chrome bumpers and trim, though showing their age, still catch the light with a glint of nostalgia.
Inside, the gray cloth interior transports you back to 1946. The bench seat, adorned with period-correct upholstery, faces a dash that's pure Americana - a large chrome accent sweeps across, housing the factory gauges. The cloth headliner and carpet maintain the original aesthetic, complemented by door panels that blend vinyl and cloth. The column shifter for the 3-speed manual transmission stands ready, a throwback to when driving was an engaging, hands-on experience. This Ford's cabin is a lesson in automotive history.
Under the hood, the 239 Flathead V8 engine is the show's star. This powerplant, paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, was the backbone of Ford's post-war lineup. The engine bay shows off a clean presentation, featuring an aluminum radiator to keep things cool. The carburetor feeds the V8, while the dual exhaust with aftermarket mufflers gives voice to this classic powertrain. The 6-volt electrical system remains, preserving the car's original character. Drum brakes at all four corners and manual steering provide an authentic driving experience, reminding us of the skills required to pilot these machines in their heyday.
