Vehicle Description
One look at a 1946 Ford coupe like this, and you can't help but
feel patriotic. After all, this was the first full production year
after WWII, and an eager nation was ready to get their hands on a
vehicle that would once again celebrate the open road. This
flathead V8 coupe perfectly represents this optimistic time in
America.
The red paint is a great representation of how much pride this car
inspired when new. There is the perfect amount of luster here that
makes it look nearly factory fresh without giving it an overzealous
clearcoat finish. It's an honesty that gives this '46 Ford the kind
of presence that radiates whether it's parked in the sunlight of
the car show lawn or the neon of your favorite car hop. The chrome
bumpers and grille have a mirror-like quality that signal a recent
investment. The bright trim that accents the curvaceous body also
looks so pristine that it must have had some recent work, too. It's
all finished off with the proper whitewall tires and two-piece Ford
wheels w/pinstriping.
Just like the exterior, you can tell there was an investment inside
in keeping this coupe feeling like a time warp. The gray cloth on
the seats gives you some added comfort, and they coordinate nicely
with the door panels and headliner. While this was based on a
pre-war design, Ford was still leading in interior style. So you'll
slip behind the original-style two-spoke wheel and gaze over the
fashionable and symmetrical dashboard that's a perfect piece of art
deco.
The 239 cubic-inch flathead V8 really needs no introduction, and
you'll be quite happy to know that this coupe originally came with
the V8 upgrade. On the road it provides a wonderful punch and a
great soundtrack. The engine bay is nicely detailed, and you might
notice the nice upgrades such as the alternator, 12-volt power, and
electric fan. The three-speed manual transmission shifts easily,
and provides good power for getting to the car shows with ease.
