Vehicle Description
This is one of those full custom builds that instantly gets
attention. After all, even its first impression gives away that
this 1946 Ford Cabriolet expertly blends classic styling and modern
performance. So while you love the iconic fat-fendered Ford
silhouette; you'll really enjoy the ultra-slick red appearance,
custom leather A/C interior, and LS1 V8 that give you all the best
in modern convenience.
The investment in this body reminds us instantly why we all love
the rounded curves of the 1940s Fords. You know there was a lot
that went into the bodywork before the paint even was laid down.
That's why there not even a ripple in the 70+ year-old steel and
the door fit like a seamless s part of the design. The modern red
that's laid on top has that kind of quality clearcoat that really
lets you appreciate every curve as the light rolls evenly across
the entire body. Some of the brightwork was eliminated for the more
modern appearance, but all the right elements are still in place
for a great vintage look. After all, the bumpers shine like
mirrors, and the three-bar grille is iconic. Plus, people won't be
able to take their eye off the full-length trim that starts at the
hood and runs as an unbroken line as it dips into the trunk. And
even if people somehow thought this is just a factory Ford, the
American Racing Torq Thrust wheels with aggressive 17/18-inch
front/rear stagger would clue them in on this custom car's
power.
Pop the remote door openers to reveal a full custom interior by the
masters at Paul Atkins Interiors. The amazing uniform build has the
two-tone tan expertly weaving within the unique patterns on the
seats, doors, and center console (it even matches the tan folding
top.) It's this kind of presentation and investment that you know
the interior can win awards all on its own. But more than just look
great, this is a true driver's machine, too. Those leather bucket
seats up front are vastly more comfortable than anything that came
out of the 1940s. You'll slip behind the chrome three-spoke
steering wheel, which gives you a clear view at the full Classics
Instruments gauge package that look like their own works of art.
Plus, you also get all the right features like power seats, power
windows, tilt steering wheel, power steering, and an AM/FM stereo
with aux input that's ready to accept your modern music players.
Best of all, the modern R134a air conditioning is blowing ice-cold,
so you can stay cool while cruising in your cool droptop.
While you've seen plenty of custom work on the interior and
exterior, the best is saved for under the hood. Peek beneath the
custom body-colored panel, and you'll see a modern 5.7-liter LS1
V8. The fuel-injected powerplant borrowed from the C5 Corvette
program is a serious power upgrade...and it's only the beginning of
this Ford's performance components. When you look at the
undercarriage photos, you'll also spot upgrades like the Mustang
II-style independent front suspension, tubular control arms, and
front disc brakes. So if you're starting to see this custom as an
easy cruiser near or far, you'd be right. In fact, it even has a
modern four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly
overdrive.
You've looking at a full custom build that is just as adept at
taking home all the awards as it is staying cool on the morning
commute. It's the true classic that can do it all, and with only
810 miles on this build, why wouldn't you? Something this special
won't stay long in our showroom. Call today!!!
