This exemplary post-war hot rod – a striking 1946 Ford Coupe – beautifully blends classic style with tasteful modern upgrades, and its proudly available now at MAXmotives Pittsburgh showroom. Under the hood sits a smooth-running 1950 Mercury Flathead V8, outfitted with Reds Headers, a Big Bubba distributor, and a newer fuel system including fresh lines, tank, and a pressure regulator for reliable cruising. A Borg T5 5-speed manual transmission paired with a Hurst floor shifter ensures spirited driving, while a Ford 8-inch rear with 3.50 gears puts the power to the pavement. The chassis sports a dropped front axle and Chassis Engineering parallel leaf spring conversion, giving the car its confident stance and enhanced handling. Only 2053 logged since its 2017 restoration.
Finished in sleek Summit single-stage Satin Black paint, this Coupe turns heads with its fresh chrome bumpers, stainless trim, blue dot taillights, and chrome exhaust tips.
Inside, the new red and white upholstery complements the black exterior, and features like tilt column, Saginaw steering, Dolphin gauges deliver comfort and function. Updated brake lines, glass, and front disc brakes during its restoration provide added peace of mind. This 1946 Ford pays tribute to the golden era of hot rodding – when speed shops boomed and El Mirage roared – while offering modern craftsmanship for todays roads. Complete with American Racing aluminum wheels for added flair, this car is ready to enjoy. See detailed photos and learn more at www.maxmotive.com.
