The 1941 Ford line-up represented a full update and refresh of the Blue Oval’s offerings, amidst an uncertain time. After all, World War 2 was in full swing, but Detroit forged on nonetheless. They knew that even if they had to temporarily cease production, they would be well-geared to resume once the War inevitably ended. They were right, for in 1942 they had to cease, resuming in 1946. Available in a host of body styles, today we’ve got a 1948 Ford Super Deluxe Convertible for sale in Coronado, California. It’s a car that’s been fully restored and retains its classic style, unlike many similar examples of 1940s Fords that have been turned into hot rods and restomods. With a mere 796 miles after restoration, it’s a classic that’s almost too good to pass up on – and one that will enter vintage car status in a handful of years.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a very bright Maize Yellow paint job, the color of this 1948 Ford Super Deluxe Convertible symbolizes the hope that encircled America and the world after World War II had ended. A new era had begun, one of economic prosperity, and cars like this were eagerly snapped up as a result. This fully restored car shows what it must have been like for its first owner, replete with plenty of chrome, whitewall tires, body color-matched wheels and of course, a tan convertible top. Here there’s a little surprise, as we’re told that the top is power operated! The interior of this 1948 Ford Super Deluxe Convertible comes in Red Bedford, and features seating for up to five adults. Like the exterior, the interior has remained as period correct as possible, right down to the column-mounted gear shifter, thin-rimmed steering wheel and classic dashboard with Art Deco design elements plus some interesting square-shaped gauges. Even an original-style radio remains.
Engine
Powering this 1948 Ford Super Deluxe Convertible is a 239ci Flathead V8 paired with a 3-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The engine reportedly put out around 100 horsepower which was plenty in the 1940s, as it was a late 1930s design. Drum brakes are present for stopping power, and they are more than enough for this kind of classic. After all, you’ve got to drive it smoothly rather than savagely.

In 1941, Ford updated its car line-up even though World War II was in progress. Ford’s thinking was that by doing so when the War ended, they would have a fresh model ready for sale while their competitors scrambled. Hence, the 1941 Ford was only made for 1941 and 1942 before the War effort required resources to be redirected. When the War ended, the model returned in 1946 and continued until 1948. Buyers could choose from coupe, convertible, sedan, coupe utility, and station wagon body styles. This particular 1946 Ford Deluxe Coupe is a two-door coupe that’s been tastefully resto-modded to make it more pleasant to drive in 2025 without compromising on its 1940s style and substance. With less than 2,500 miles since its makeover, this car awaits its new owner in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
