| 1948 Ford Coupe. This street rod has been a trophy winner for over 50 years! One look at the leaded all steel body and you can tell this is something special. This car is highly modified with changes to nearly every part of the car. Starting with the front you will see headlights from a 1961 Chrysler molded into the front fenders, a 1951 Studebaker windshield cut to fit, the grill shell from a 1955 Chevrolet truck with a steel mesh insert with chrome accents. The front and rear fenders sport forward and rear facing scoops with chrome mesh one of which hides the door pop switch. Custom lake pipes run down the side with a custom chrome mesh heat shield. The front passenger’s fender holds two frenched antennas with a molded lip. The rear mimics the front grill and has frenched Mercury tail lights and bumpers from a 1960 Corvette. The interior holds seats and a dash from a 1962 Corvair Spyder that have been wrapped in black vinyl and pleated fabric and a tilt column from a firebird. Behind the seats is a hidden bar that rises up holding decanters for Bourbon, Gin, Scotch, glasses, shaker and ice bucket. The center console holds switches for the fuel pump, doors, fan, trunk and bar. Under the hood is a 1957 312CID Ford Y-block that is surrounded by chrome including the inner fenders, firewall, radiator cover and more. The engine is hooked to a chrome 3-speed manual transmission, chrome drive shaft and the rear-end is supported by chrome springs with chrome brake drums and more. Other options include A/C, AM/FM radio, hub caps, heat, power windows, tilt wheel, cloth interior, vinyl interior, and white walls radial tires.
