Didn't get a better angle picture, but this short door coupe at Rocken Red Deer yesterday was beautiful.

BURLINGTON, IOWA CAR......? I used to run across a Dark Blue '46-'48 Ford Coupe on the Custom Revival Circuit in the late '80's through the Early '90's......Skirts, White Pinstriped, pretty much typical of that Era. It's been conspicuous by its absence for some time. Does anyone remember it? Zebulon

 

Just saw this one at the grocery store. Nice car, just confused design with the mustang logo and conny kit
I do like the burgundy and the chime all looked great

Hate autocorrect. I meant the chrome looked good on that car

Picked this up yesterday. 1946 rock stock. Owner claimed 29,000 original miles.

 

Needs some loving but should polish out well.

 

Hasn't ran in a few years.... have to see what we can figure out.

 

Anyone in the Sacramento area recognize this car? PM or email 292blues @ gm ail

Would love to know some history on this old gal.

 

Baby got back

 

Home in the garage...



Less than a minutes with some quick detailer brought the color back on that small patch on the fender. Hit the dash and bumpers with some steel wool next.

Can't wait to see how it polishes out. Stay tuned for more.

 

Something like this is the goal. Want to do a drop axle with disc brakes.... then see what happens next.

 

Wow, that polished out really nice! (Just kidding). That is amazing, great score.

 

This is my parts car for my 46 Tudor. A weekend with a torch and sawzall, turned this...



Into this..........




I plan on building the frame from this one and have it done, so that I can just plop the body from my Tudor on it and then do the body work.This is the one I will be building...........

Looks like a woodie-to-be!

Love it, go man go!

 

This car used to belong to a buddy of mine, pictured below. Loved that coupe.

Too bad about the conti kit...some peoples kids

 

Nice one, Old-Soul.

Here's my '47 daily driver... Stays cool all day in San Diego traffic.

 

Yeah, I liked it more before haha.

Your coupe looks rad!

 

I was pretty sure there was a good builder who understood what they were doing and a buyer that was under educated ( being nice) the mustang logo stuck on the hood side was kind of a head shaker but nothing done was non reversable. The cool thing is he likes his car, and drives it.

Here is an updated photo of my 46 driver.

 

Nothing out of the ordinary:




...And a few ideas for the future.

 

Here is mine. 50 flathead,39 trans.

 

Pretty car -- but don't chop it, don't put skirts on it, and lower the front.

 

Hey, whats wrong with skirts and nose in the air?LOL

 

California rake would really complement the bone-stock flathead. Aside from new rubber and fluids, I doubt I'll change much on this car for some time to come.

 

Here is my 46 coupe flathead 3 speed with my grand daughter sitting on the fat fender
