1948 Ford Deluxe
View Description
This post-war Ford takes on the 'Street Rod' look and does it well with a beautiful Red exterior paintjob that pops in every light. The body lines on these Fords make them look fast just sitting in a parking space and it wouldn't be a Deluxe without the plentiful chrome on the front grille, bumpers and side trim. 15' custom aluminum wheels with radial tires give this classic Ford a hot stance. The louvered hood pops open easily thanks to upgraded gas shocks instead of traditional steel hinges. Of all the nice features on this '48 Ford, the rebuilt 383 CID V8 'Stroker' motor has to be #1. Aluminum heads, roller rocker arms, hot cam, aluminum intake and a Holley Slayer 4bbl carburetor beef the power up even more. For the transmission, a rebuilt 3-speed automatic with a high stall torque converter snaps through the gears through an 8' Ford rear end geared 3. 73, giving a nice balance between acceleration and top end performance. If you're wondering how this '48 handles, stops and steers with all that vigor you can rest assured thanks to a Mustang II front end, front disc brakes, power steering and coil over shocks.
