Classic Car Overview

1948 Ford Super Deluxe Coupe For consignment, a hardtop version of the movie car, a 1948 Ford Super Deluxe coupe with a title verified 60,038 actual miles and lots of custom and performance modifications that make this a comfortable and capable hot rod version of a once common commuter car. With its modern interior, big V8, and classic 40s body lines, this is one the whole family can enjoy for show and go. Exterior Our big paneled beauty is finished in Alabaster paint, accented by a twin pinstripe that ends with a flame motif on the rear quarter panel ending in Fo Mo Go script. Shes been nosed and decked which means all adorning trim that the factory would have included is gone and any holes left behind have been filled. The only chrome that remains is on the headlight rings, grille accents, and bumpers, all of which look good. The pointed nose is countered on the other end by the big round trunk. Yes, babys got back, and its a wall of Alabaster flanked by two modest tail lights, now LED equipped. Wide, articulated fenders loom over 15-inch polished American Racing Torque Thrust wheels with staggered size tires that result in a slightly raked stance. Imperfections include some bubbling on a taillight housing, corner issues near the door hinges, cracked paint in seams, various minor scratches, and some gaps and fitment that is less than perfect. Interior Tan tweed door panels are framed in with a taupe painted header and a taupe carpet lower, while the attached hardware is painted to match. The material continues on the power front bucket seats, borrowed from a Chrysler, high backed and modern, and the rear has a matching bench seat that fits perfectly and includes a center armrest, all looking clean. A tilt column holds a 4 spoke steering wheel in front of a Bitchin Products custom dashboard which places all of the gauges in a row towards the center of the simple, flat dash. A JVS AM/FM/CD radio is embedded on the far right over some tweed covered panel doors that cleverly cover some knobs. A floor mounted Hurst shifter rises above a rubber accordion boot over tan low pile carpeted mats that are in great shape. So are the headliner and visors which create a dome over the contoured and tinted windows. The trunk is completely upholstered and wears a Ford insignia. Drivetrain Lift the big hood to reveal a slightly blinged driver quality engine bay with a 390ci V8 topped by a Holley 750cfm 4-barrel over a Holley intake manifold between a pair of chrome valve covers. An old school B&M intake scoop envelopes the air filter and is a polished piece that adds more shine. A Toploader 4-speed manual transmission is behind the engine sending power to the Ford 9 rear and 3.22 gears. Disc brakes are found behind all four wheels. Undercarriage Basic and unremarkable underneath but generally clean and driver quality. We note some oil under the engine including oil pan, flywheel cover, transmission, and transmission crossmember. No surface rust of any significance exists underneath, and wheel components lack any major grease build up. The dual exhaust flows back to a pair of glasspack style mufflers and then exits through steel pipes in the back. Suspension consists of coil springs up front and leaf springs in the back. Drive-Ability This cozy cocoon provides a clean and comfortable perch and with a little prime of the Holley with our right foot, we press the clutch with our left, start the engine, and put it in gear. She sounds great and offers good visibility, save for the C-pillar blind spot due to the small rear window. The car has good power, adequate braking, and decent handling. Everything that needs to function does and we cant wait to get this one a new caretaker! Heres a car with enough room to take the kids and their karate equipment to class, and enough classic lines and show worthy specialness to take it to cruise night, Cars and Coffee, and other places where car people gather. Maybe youll even garner a few trophies that you put next to your karate tournament trophies! In any event, its a well sorted 48 in a fine color, comfortable interior, and capable drivetrain.
