Ford De Luxe 1946
General description :
Gateway Classic Cars of Tamps is proud to offer this sleek 1946 Ford Deluxe. This Lavender street rod fires right up and turns heads everywhere it goes. The curb appeal really comes from the custom paint scheme and custom body work. The Lilac paint with flames is iconic for the 40's Lead Sled styling. This would be a period correct paint theme for this street rod. The custom body work includes having a 4 1/2 chopped top, 6' sectioned rear, shortened 2' body, trunk lid shortened by 4 1/2 and Desoto 50's bumperettes and side skirts. The custom body work doesn't stop there, it also has 50's Buick portholes. The door handles have been shaved and suicide doors have been added to top off the appeal of this Lead Sled. It rides on vintage hubcaps with wide white wall tires. When you hop in your will instantly notice the plush white 80's Buick Bucket seats with separate arm rests and a console. The rear seats match and are complimented nicely by the lilac painted dash. The interior is set apart from the rest with the sun accessory gauges, unique Marilyn shifter, clock, tilt wheel, and stereo. Since the door handles are shaved a Dakota digital keyless remote lock system for the doors, windows, and truck has been added. Under the hood of this iconic Ford Deluxe is a rebuilt 1975 302 cubic inch V8 with an Eldebrock car, chrome valve covers, and blower style air cleaner. This car is the perfect cruiser with its C4 automatic transmission and Chevrolet 10 bolt rear end. The frame is reinforced with Chevelle front and rear clips and has coil over springs. This car is the perfect mix of driver quality and show stopping appeal. Do not let this one of a kind custom car out of your grasp.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
