1948 Ford DELUXE COUPE coupe 62,800 Miles Dark Blue 225CI flat head V8 3 Speed

Description

The appraiser verifies that the car appears nearly all original. The vehicle has been restored at some point in its life and the restoration was extremely professional. The materials utilized are not matches for the original article but are extremely tasteful. All gauges appear to be original and have been appropriately reconditioned. The only non-original non-correct part on the vehicle is the turn-signal stalk which may have needed to be replaced for DMV compliance so that the vehicle could be... registered. All badging and hood ornaments are the original items and show the appropriate wear for items of this age. There is no visible rust or corrosion on the vehicle. The paint is nearly immaculate. The restoration appears to have utilized the original paint formulation. There are some minor cosmetic blemishes which can be easily resolved with the appropriate rubbing compound. All accessories are in working order. The engine appears to have been removed and completely rebuilt at some point. The work on the engine appears to be excellent and "show-correct”. There appears to be no rust or rot on the vehicle. The trunk pan is in pristine condition (a known issue with this model) and appears to be original. There are no issues with the vehicle which would be detrimental to the value. With some minor effort this appraiser believes this could be a Concurs-level vehicle. This is an excellent entry-level collector car which is currently turn-key for the new owner. This is not a chopped vehicle. This variant has a higher value due to the 5 Window Coupe configuration. The interior has been appropriately restored with correct materials. The gauges and switchgear have also been restored to near factory-new condition. Two aftermarket gauges were installed appropriately. Call us for a test drive Delray Beach Motors 888-254-6991. Ford Deluxe Coupe Six (man. 3) model year 1948 version for North America U.S. (up to June)manufactured by Ford (USA) in USA2-door coupe body typeRWD (rear-wheel drive) manual 3-speed gearboxgasoline (petrol) engine with displacement: 3700 cm3 / 225.8 cui advertised power: 71 kW / 95 hp / 97 PS ( SAE ) torque: 244 Nm / 180 lb-ft more data: 1948 Ford Deluxe Coupe Six (man. 3) Horsepower/Torque Curvecharacteristic dimensions: outside length: 5034 mm / 198.2 in width: 1862 mm / 73.3 in wheelbase: 2896 mm / 114 inreference weights: shipping weight 1376 kg / 3033 lbs estimated curb weight: 1460 kg / 3220 lbshow fast is this car? top speed: 125 km/h (78 mph) (©theoretical);accelerations: 0- 60 mph 20.1© s; 0- 100 km/h 21.9© s (simulation © ); 1/4 mile drag time (402 m) 21.8© s (simulation © ) 1948 Ford Deluxe Coupe Six (man. 3) Detailed Performance Reviewfuel consumption and mileage: average estimated by a-c©: 15.7 l/100km / 18 mpg (imp.) / 15 mpg (U.S.) / 6.4 km/l more data: 1948 Ford Deluxe Coupe Six (man. 3) Specifications Engine manufacturer:Ford Flathead 239 V-8Engine type:spark-ignition 4-strokeFuel type:gasoline (petrol)Fuel system:carburetorCharge system:naturally aspiratedValves per cylinder:2Valves timing:Additional features:Holley 94 2-barrelEmission control:Emission standard:Cylinders alignment:V 8Displacement:3923 cm3 / 239.4 cuiBore:80.96 mm / 3.1875 inStroke:95.25 mm / 3.75 inCompression ratio:6.75 : 1Horsepower net:Torque net: Visit Delray Beach Motors online at to see more pictures of this vehicle or call us at 888-254-6991 today to schedule your test drive.
