Ford Sedan 350 V8 1946

General description : ENTRY-LEVEL STREETROD, PRICED-TO-MOVE, 350 V8, AUTO, PWR FRNT DISCS/STEERING!!

Clean, simple, and to the point, this 1946 Ford Tudor is a great example of how to have fun on a budget. No wild graphics, no over-styled interior, and no finicky hardware, just a nice old Ford with 350 V8 power, appealing colors, and an interior that's nicer than the average rod.
Fat fendered Fords are red hot right now, probably because they offer full-sized comfort and a ton of style. The wide grille is simple yet instantly recognizable, and the body is a slightly larger variation of the timeless 1940s look. This one was built some years ago and enjoyed like it should be out on the road, so there are signs of age and use in the bright red paint. Nonetheless, it still looks appealing and workmanship is good, so the doors fit well, the fenders are snug to the body, and the hood, which is always problematic on these cars. All the original trim is there, with the bumpers having been painted to match, but on a car like this, a few shiny parts make for great contrast, so the grille, side trim, window moldings, and neat emblem under the left headlight are all intact and in good condition. It's not a show car, but if you are the kind of guy who'd like a 70-year-old car to drive every day or an inexpensive way to get into the game, this is it.
The interior features front buckets, custom door panels, and a full-width back seat so it's a legitimate 5-passenger vehicle. The tan tweed fabric looks upscale and feels like a million bucks, and thanks to careful maintenance, the interior remains in very usable condition. The door panels are simple and not over-wrought and comfort was a priority so the armrests are actually in the right place. Even the window garnish moldings were painted to match and blend in, which softens the interior and creates a unique look. Power windows, A/C (needs to be charged), and a decent AM/FM/cassette stereo provide the expected levels of comfort, making this a rod you can drive every day or cross-country on the Power Tour. The original gauges are joined by a quartet of aftermarket dials in a custom panel underneath the dash and the shifter is neatly integrated into the floor so it doesn't look like an afterthought. The sizable trunk is upholstered in simple gray carpet and matching side panels, and comes complete with a space-saver spare tire, just in case.
For reliability and performance, nothing beats a 350 cubic inch Chevy V8 topped by an Edelbrock intake and Holley 4-barrel carb. Chrome valve covers and a matching air cleaner give it a suitably hot rod look when you pop the hood, but it was clearly intended to be easy to service and drop-dead reliable on the road. A big aluminum radiator keeps it cool and the late-model Camaro subframe installation includes power steering and power front disc brakes, so handling is surprisingly modern. It's backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear end with highway gears inside. A great-sounding dual exhaust system was recently installed and it rolls on familiar Rally wheels painted red and fitted with 205/70/15 front and 235/75/15 rear whitewall radials.
Sometimes simple is better, and this Ford delivers an affordable way to get into the game for not a lot of cash. Call today!

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
