The streamlined body was refinished in attractive, period-correct Dynamic Maroon, appropriately complemented by a new Light Tan power convertible top, maroon leather upholstery, and Firestone Whitewall tires mounted on correct steel wheels with chrome hubcaps. Underhood, the venerable 239 cubic-inch "Flathead" Ford V-8 engine delivers upgraded power with a set of Offenhauser cylinder heads, a twin-carburetor intake system, and a great-sounding dual exhaust. A polished generator enhances the nicely dressed engine compartment. Other highlights include a 3-speed manual transmission, plus such desirable features and amenities as a radio, heater, dual mirrors, and turn-signal indicators. Mechanical attention during 2018 included rebuilding of the carburetors and radiator, installation of new spark plugs, and replacement of the brakes. Ready to show, tour, and enjoy, this 1946 Ford Super DeLuxe Convertible Coupe exemplifies the first postwar model lines from the Ford Motor Company.
