"Plum Crazy"

The 1946 Ford was the company’s first car built after World War II, when civilian production resumed after nearly four years of wartime manufacturing. Few cars from that era have been reimagined as thoroughly as this Deluxe Coupe. It keeps the classic postwar shape and adds a modern 350ci V8, disc brakes, fuel injection, and air conditioning, so it looks like a vintage Ford and drives like a modern car.

Finished in a rich Plum Purple, this Deluxe Coupe has a bold, custom look that sets it apart from the usual black and maroon street rods. It rides on American Racing Torq Thrust wheels, a classic hot rod choice that gives the car a stance with real attitude. A one piece windshield and removed vent windows give the body a smooth, clean look, and LED headlights add a modern touch to the front end without disturbing the car’s vintage lines.

Power comes from a 350ci V8 managed by a Holley Sniper EFI 2 fuel injection system. That means easy starts, steady idle, and reliable driving in any weather, with none of the fuss of an old carburetor. It is paired with a 700R4 4 speed automatic transmission for relaxed cruising and a highway friendly overdrive gear. Underneath, a Mustang II front end with disc brakes and a Mustang power rack and pinion steering setup bring modern handling and stopping power. A Walker radiator with an electric fan keeps temperatures in check, and Painless wiring ties the electrical system together with reliable, professional quality work.

Inside, grey cloth seating gives the cabin a clean, comfortable look that pairs nicely with the Plum Purple exterior. A custom dash is fitted with Classic Instruments gauges with white faces, which bring a crisp, period flavored look and modern clarity. Air conditioning and heat make the car comfortable year round, and a Boss stereo provides plenty of sound for cruising with the windows down.

This 1946 Ford Deluxe Coupe is a great blend of classic postwar styling and modern street rod engineering, ready to be driven to shows, cruise nights, and anywhere in between.
