GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1948 Ford Custom for
your consideration. This striking example has undergone a full
frame-off restoration and has only 3,649 miles since its
completion. It is finished in a rich Blue Metallic exterior over a
custom White and Blue interior. Power comes from a 302 cubic inch
V8 paired with a C4 automatic transmission and a Lincoln 9-inch
rear end. The car rides on a 1948 Ford X-Frame, and features Ford
electronic ignition, Edelbrock intake, and a high-efficiency
electric cooling fan system. Underneath, the front suspension has
been upgraded with tubular control arms, coilovers, and a power
rack and pinion steering setup. Stopping power comes from power
four-wheel disc brakes. Additional highlights include power
windows, six-way power seating, freshly wrapped headers, a manual
convertible top, Kenwood aftermarket stereo, and chrome steel rims
wrapped in wide whitewall tires. The body has been professionally
shaved and dechromed from nose to tail, with custom front fenders
blended into the body, a one-piece windshield, and 1949 Mercury
taillights. A Poly 48 Ford gas tank has been installed, along with
countless thoughtful touches throughout. Drive this one out of our
showroom or have us assist with shipping it to you anywhere in the
United States! Don't hesitate to call us with any questions or for
more information.
The 1948 Ford Custom marked the final model year before Ford would
introduce an all-new design in 1949. Coming out of the World War II
production freeze, the 1946-1948 models were based on pre-war
designs but carried subtle updates. The Custom represented the top
trim level, offering customers a more refined, stylish take on the
traditional full-size American car. As postwar prosperity grew,
these Fords became a blank canvas for custom car
builders-particularly convertibles like this one-making them a
favorite among hot-rodders and collectors alike.
