Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1948 Ford Deluxe 2-door Sedan. The time was 1941, Ford felt it time to thoroughly update their car. Production would not last long into 1942 when the government ordered the complete shut down of all civilian automotive manufacturing. This was in direct response to the start of the U.S.'s involvement in WWII. Ford would not be able to restart production until 1946 and the series ran until 1948. Here we have a '48 model, the last year of an icon from a time that shuck the foundation of America. The car has a great stance, the black paint and the chrome trim are set off well by the Foose wheels. The paint has a little age but does present well. The black vinyl interior looks and is in good shape. Paint and interior work was completed in 2016. Under the hood is a Chevy 305ci V8 engine running the power out through a 3-speed automatic transmission. A strong Ford 9" rear end and a 2.75 gear ratio will make for nice cruising. Current owner has had her for over 7 years, and in that time replaced: battery, kick down cable seal, transmission pan gasket, air suspension lines, intake manifold gaskets, and transmission gasket. The title is clean and clear and ready to be transferred into your name now! Options on this Ford are: AC, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Vinyl Interior, AM/FM/CD, Alloy wheels, and Radial Tires.

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.
