When Ford introduced their 1946 model lineup, they were basically carry-overs from the 1942 (pre-war) models. They utilized the same drivetrain and had minor restyling, such as the front grille now featured horizontal bars instead of the flush-mounted grille of prior years. The Super Deluxe line was the top trim level and available in several body styles including sedan, coupe, convertible, and station wagon. A six- and eight-cylinder engines were available with the six-cylinder developing 90 horsepower while the V8 unit produced 100. The most popular body-style was the two-door sedan which saw over 163,000 examples produced. The rarest is the sportsman convertible which was only available with the V8 engine. Production for this body-style was a mere 723 units. The Convertible was also available only with the V8; all other body-styles could be purchased with the six or eight.

Auction entries : 1The U.S. War Department had officially forbidden work not directly related to the war effort. This is why the 1946 models were basically carry-overs from the 1942 year. Even though this order was in place, Ford staff did quietly prepare for peacetime production by refining the existing 1942 models. The legendary V8 'flathead' engine was a popular choice with many. This engine incorporated piston, bearing and cooling-system improvements to enhance reliability and performance. Ride and handling improvements included a rear stabilizer bar and an increased brake lining area. Other updates to the suspension included front-and-rear transverse leaf springs.
