1946 Ford Deluxe Lead Sled Street Rod
History
Ford Motor Company introduced its De Luxe Ford line in 1938 as an
upscale alternative to bridge the gap between its base model and
luxury Lincoln offerings. The "Deluxe" name was used intermittently
before and after this to specify an upscale trim, but the De Luxe
Ford line was differentiated as a separate "marque within a marque"
with separate styling and pricing.
What Makes This Car Special
The 1946 Ford Deluxe Lead Sled Street Rod we have at Skyway
Classics is a one-of-a-kind car that is both current as a cruiser
but nostalgic if you want an "old time" lead sled cruiser too. Read
this description and you will see what we mean.
Mechanical
To start with the frame has a Chevelle front and rear end clips
reinforced with a Chevrolet 10 bolt rear end and coil springs. The
engine is a 1975 rebuilt 302 cubic inch V8 with an Edelbrock carb,
chrome valve covers, and a blower style air cleaner and backed by a
C 4 automatic transmission. It sits in a clean and well thought out
engine compartment.
Interior
The plush white 1987 Buick bucket seat interior with separate
armrests and a console and matching Buick rear seat is complimented
by the Lilac painted dash with both factory and Sun accessory
gauges, unique "Marilyn" shifter, clock, tilt wheel. Black carpet,
stereo radio, and a Dakota digital keyless remote lock system for
the doors, windows, and trunk.
Exterior
The Lilac paint scheme with flames really sets of all the custom
body work on this 1946. Check out the cars body work including
having a 4 �" chopped top, 6" sectioned rear, shortened 2" body,
trunk lid shortened 4 �", 1941 Buick grill, 1953 Buick headlights
with cat eyes, 1954 Buick portholes, handles shaved, suicide doors,
1951 Desoto bumperettes, and fender skirts. WOW.
It rides on vintage looking wheels and hubcaps and wide white wall
tires and also has a nice trunk with the battery in a box too.
