Vehicle Description
This exemplary post-war hot rod, an outstanding 1946 Ford Coupe
with a smooth-running Mercury Flathead, is now available in the
MAXmotive Pittsburgh Showroom. A recent restoration completed in
2017, the car has been enjoyed just 1777 miles since. The 1950 Merc
V8 sports a Big Bubba distributor, Red's Headers, and is fed
through a pressure regulator, new fuel lines and gas tank. To
optimize performance, a GM 5-speed manual transmission with Hurst
shifter gets the nod. In back is an 8-inch Ford rear with 3.50
gears. The stance is achieved through a dropped front axle while a
Chassis Engineering parallel leaf spring conversion aids in the
ride and handling department. Some modern touches include front
disc brakes, Saginaw steering box, tilt column, and Summit single
stage Satin Black exterior paint. Inside are beautiful white face
Dolphin gauges and a CD player. The red and white upholstery is a
great contrast to the paint and the interior is roomy and
comfortable. The chrome bumpers and stainless trim are fresh, and
the car is brimming with custom details such as blue dot tailights,
chrome exhaust tips, and a banjo steering wheel. New brake lines
and glass assure that you'll stay on the road and looking good. A
cool bonus is that while the car currently rides on whitewall
radials, new Mastercraft 205/70R15s for the front and Hankook
P235/70R15s for the back mounted on new American Racing aluminum
wheels are included for when you want an appearance with a little
more attitude. 1946 was a banner year in hot rodding history. The
war was over, the legendary Blair's Speed Shop and So-Cal Speed
Shops opened, and racing began at El Mirage. This unpretentious
1946 Ford Coupe harkens back to those exciting days, with a touch
of modern craftsmanship to make the car even more drivable and
enjoyable. See detailed photos at www.maxmotive.com.
