Model history
The Ford Deluxe was part of Ford's diverse model range in the pre-war and early post-war years. Originally introduced as a mid-range model, it returned after World War II in 1946 – this time as an affordable entry-level variant. Between 1946 and 1948, the Deluxe stood for robust technology and solid everyday practicality and enjoyed great popularity among American car buyers. After a brief hiatus, the name was revived in 1950, with the Deluxe serving as a price-conscious alternative to the higher-positioned Custom Deluxe. The model thus embodies the economically oriented mobility of the immediate post-war years.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Der Ford Deluxe war ein PKW-Modell von Ford, das von 1941 bis 1942 als mittlere Ausstattungsvariante, parallel zu den Modellen Standard und Super Deluxe gebaut wurde. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg lebte es 1946–1948 wieder auf, allerdings als kostengünstigste Ausstattungsvariante. Nach einem Jahr Pause war der Deluxe auch 1950–1951, parallel zum besser ausgestatteten Custom Deluxe, wieder erhältlich. Im September 1945 wurden die ersten Nachkriegsmodelle präsentiert. Der Deluxe entsprach im Wesentlichen dem Vorkriegsmodell, stellte aber nach Wegfall des Special die preisgünstigste Variante dar und erhielt einen überarbeiteten Kühlergrill. Der V8-Motor war auf 3.916 cm³ aufgebohrt worden und leistete nun 100 bhp (74 kW) bei 3.800/min. Der Kombi war weggefallen. 1947 gab es keine Veränderungen. 1948 gab der Sechszylindermotor bei gleichem Hubraum 5 bhp mehr ab. In drei Jahren entstanden 223.232 Deluxe. Im Folgejahr löste die Ford-Serie den Deluxe für ein Jahr ab. LG Tom
