1946 Ford Super Deluxe Tudor Coupe

Description

“Here is the new Ford!” Following the end of World War II in September 1945, civilian car production in America slowly resumed, with most manufacturers making small changes to their pre-war designs. Ford picked up where it had left off in 1942, with some updates and improvements. It featured a more modern and streamlined design, characterized by a new grille with horizontal bars, a wider stance, and a more robust appearance. The car was available in several body styles, including coupes, sedans, station wagons and convertibles, catering to a wide range of customers. 

Also new was its 239 cu-in engine, previously used in Mercury's and Ford trucks and capable of 100 horsepower, mated to a column-shift three-speed manual transmission. The car also came with hydraulic brakes and upgraded suspension. Ford boasted, “With a new, smooth ride that's a revelation, you'll find it more fun to drive than any car you ever owned.” 

Ford prophetically stated in 1946, “There’s a Ford in your future!” This 1946 Ford Super Deluxe Coupe has been part of several prominent collections for the past decade, in all original showroom condition with only 8,345 miles.
