1948 Ford Super Deluxe 8 Convertible Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

In this video I bring you all a 1948 Ford Super Deluxe 8 Convertible. It had been sitting about 4 months without being started. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Biff Tannen approves this content. Absolutely beautiful car!!

[@Rick1885]

+Scoot biff's car was a black 1946 ford super deluxe convertible

[@joshsummers8606]

[@SwiitKALEL]

actually it's Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio)

[@angelacushman2259]

2019 any one

[@Bobbygn]

I grew up with these cars. What this cars needs is a good run on the highway. 50 miles at 60 mph and you would never recognize the way it runs. Carb would clean out . carbon would clean out etc. Beautiful car.

[@GK1918]

Agree needs new gas, its made to be driven like I do 12 mo. a year.

[@marajadeskywalker5992]

samuel pine exactly I drive my bel air and vw bus as my go to vehicles instead of driving them rarely. I work on them once or twice a week.

[@chrisnzella]

This beauty is as old as I am and I know how it is to get started each morning. I react the same way. :)

[@benderbendingrofriguez3300]

IT`S ALIVE, IT`S ALIVE !!

[@axbloodtheory7885]

that sounds a lot better than any old aventador.........

[@yazdan7774]

Old Aventador ? More like any modern car .

[@Seva25]

Thanks for reviewing many old/older cars, Kyle. It's very interesting to travel back in time and to see what the cars used to be like many years ago.

[@ladyyuna2000]

so cute I love cars from the 40's and 50's

[@Tryvaltor]

"Marty, he's in a 48 Ford, we're in a DeLorean. He'd rip through us like we were tin foil."

[@braydenmartindale]

Love cars of this era. Back when they were built to last forever, not now when cars are built to break after a couple years....

[@RS-tp3uu]

bmar577 back then you were lucky if your car could last 100,000 miles. That’s why old cars’ odometers only go up to 99,999.

[@turtleownage]

It's amazing to see a video like this, a car that is 65 years old, seeing the specs, 100 hp, etc, and then clicking on another video on the side of a 2013 car, especially a sport/muscle car like the Mustang GT500, Corvette, Camaro, all having easy 550+ hp and seeing how far cars have come.

[@yamahonkawazuki]

Thank you my friend. i had for the longest time a 1949 plymoth special deluxe. . which like this one. after a little complaining, started right up. thank you for taking time out of your busy days,

[@TheFirstGroover]

Wow. incredible car. I like it so much. Just smell of history!

[@idoltyler06]

Thanks for always taking your time to show us many, of the amazing, and sometimes unique automotives.

[@kfl611]

What a pretty car. I like the color scheme inside and out and the finder skirts. The car even has a door squeek !

[@ilikecookies010101]

There should be a LOVE IT button on KZbin!

[@yamahonkawazuki]

GOD bless kyle. thank you for this trip down memory lane. eventhough i am but 37yo, this still brings me back a few years to the restoration/cold start/resurrection i did on my plymouth. again thank you. my plymouth, albeit a 49, similar to the 49 coronet you filmed, was FUN. mine was a flathead 6 cylinder. purred like a kitten

[@zachtong5985]

The first "hardtop coupe" wasn't until '51 with the Victoria. The Deluxe series came out in '41 and with few changes was resumed 46-8. Major redesign for 49-51, 52-54.

[@Darrell1019]

This would've made a great holiday present!

[@Illousion1]

So nice to one that is well cared for. Puts a smile on my face. Very nice video!

[@xRAMxDOD]

this is just what i asked for, kyle, youre the man!

[@davidalbury5820]

I love this car

[@EricAtMazda]

what a beautiful car, love the art deco dash!

[@dmatthews210]

beautiful car. nice vid. i really appreciate the variety of vehicles you do videos with..it makes the channel so well developed

[@HHRDUDE09]

I always found it amusing at how older engines were so big, like a V8, but they had the power of a Smart car!

[@vagabondgpa]

What a beaut! There's nothing that sounds sweeter than an original Ford flat head V8; Unfortunately too many have now been replaced with small block Chevy engines ! ! ! Brings back many memories of my Uncle's '48 convertible growing up in the 50's.

[@gab1971]

In the 1980s, the movie "Back to the Future 2" was set in 2010. They had flying skateboards, shoes that tie themselves, and flying cars. It's 2011, and we have Bendaroos, Pillow Pets, and Snuggies.

[@splewy]

Gotta love an old Ford flat head V8. A very subdued and unique sound.

[@MultiAustin11]

Awesome! Liking the old car vids!

[@MohCars_]

wow!!!!! :-) looks like you are getting more classics

[@kgriggs75]

well done kyle i like how you did the first part then did your normal video style. very neat mix to it.

[@darryl286]

That's REAL Good ol' grandpa's car!

[@MrJohnjake]

what a beautiful car

[@DAVIDJOHN329]

[@Deeprocker100]

What a SMOKE!!

[@jammer96]

Another good one Kyle! Keep them coming!!

[@DrDodge24]

Great video Kyle you make the best car videos on youtube!

[@MrZimzam]

what a classic

[@1966gto1000]

Besides the overall beauty of the car, I LOVE the color! I had a '40 Ford Tudor which was almost the same color. My dad and I bought it from an Air Force Captain in San Antonio who was in the business of restoring cars and decided to sell it partially restored to us in 1967. Cars don't really rust much in San Antonio so it was a good place to start. My only regret was that he had put a 265 Chevy V8 in in and changed to a 12V system. It ran super with a tranny converter. Long story but I sold it.

[@KingEastCoast]

thanks for sharing this classic with us! :)

[@JanicesSonHarpo]

[@Highperez76]

GREAT JUST GREAT I WISH TO HAVE ONE LIKE THAT!!!

[@SwPiotrek]

Beautiful car!

[@retardwitaphone3782]

1948 Ford is my favorite car

[@rompn4x]

Love those flatheads they are so quiet.

[@Lukasdw02]

This is my favorite 1940s car.

[@nflfan421]

AWESOME CAR!

[@kurtrusellpatrickswayze]

very quiet engine, huh. Awesome variety of cars, bud! from a 48 ford to a 2011 aston martin! u are the man kyle ;)

[@Pendaws]

TUNE UP needed. :) They knew how to design and build cars then, mostly better than today's plastic replicas.

[@Cobra83.]

Beautiful

[@jrodigan5]

Nice looking Saab 9000 in the background!

[@Tryvaltor]

I heard from a restorer that those original style horn buttons are extremely rare nowadays. Or at least it's rare to find a car with the original horn button still intact.

[@S.A.fair45]

Thanks please keep this up great job

[@endgeilofrosch]

was für ein traum v8!!

[@wingnut049]

1948 ford (any model) is one of my 2 all time favorite cars. The other is the 1957 Ford (pretty much any model).

[@joshuajohnson8478]

sweet ride!

[@StuffDylanLikes]

this is definitely going on the dvd your making for your grandpa

[@derbigpr500]

@Chwigga89 Its actually not very heavy. It weighs about 3300 pounds, which is about the same as a small 4 door saloon like bmw 3 series. This is a very big car, but its mostly "empty" underneath the outer body shell, while new cars are completely loaded inside, very compact.

[@702xRyder]

i would drive this to school and around east L.A!

[@cupich82]

Very nice car, congratulations :) keep it just like that ;)

[@jrswanson97]

I like how the seats fold because I was in a parade in an '89 mustang convertible and I had to jump out of the back because the seat wouldn't fold good

[@FelixTheHouseFreak]

Also what are the orange glasses on the radio? Courtesy lights or just a decoration?

[@ChimkenNuggers]

Reminds me of back to the future.

[@geoffreybradford]

Non-Collectors like me see this car in a movie (mad mad mad mad world) and get the wrong impression but I really like the car anyway now that I see this one. The one Phil Silvers drove in the movie had a big throaty V-8 sound and he's spinning the back wheels in half the scenes with it. I thought wow, that thing must have 300 HP!. Um, nope.

[@thecraneapparel]

Wow this is great

[@jammer96]

3 speed on the tree and 110hp may not sound like much, but hey cars had to start somewhere. These cars are rare and a treasure.

[@Hammar89]

@Tryvaltor great, now I have to watch all 3 movies =D

[@SomeFrenchMetalhead]

Biff's car actually was a 46, but such a true story.

[@FelixTheHouseFreak]

Has the radio been restored? I noticed it turned on instantly so was that restored with solid state components inside or is that maybe a buzzing coming out of the non restored original electronics?

[@TJC450]

Nice job Kyle. What was the other car sitting in his garage? Appeared to be a Caddy of some kind.

[@Deeprocker100]

Kyle! I hope its fixed the problem of burning too much oil! because its smokes like crazy!

[@stlchevy95]

I agree with DrDodge24, you make the in depth reviews and test drives, and bajabusta uploads the motor weeks haha :-) A nice blast from the past haha

[@nissan501]

Do you think you could do a video on a late 80's early 90's dodge daytona? And if you could find one , the IROC Z model? Thanks

[@ekiller5689]

yes it is, it is a very modern feature

[@Renatodonadio]

Some are returning to the button but today it acts as a start/stop button, back then it only made the starter motor turn and you had to turn the key to stop the engine

[@TJC450]

@saabkyle04 Did you just so happen to get any video of it while you were there? :P

[@SpeedyXsim87]

Just asking but do you have like a late 70's Ford Bronco?? Thanks your vids are great keep up the good work.

[@celsovera91]

what was that button at 3:40, the original push button intelligent key?

[@DemonsSoulsSuperPro]

Fuel Injection seems like a godsend after seeing this pig trying to start.

[@HoschtonBoy]

Back when America had guts and glory.

[@outgunned410]

I had one the same that it was the 4 door Canadian one and it had say for about 10 years and the only thing that had happened was the front brakes had ceased up and when we went and tryed to start it up it started first time it was a great car :(

[@leannmeixner8073]

seized up "ceased" means "stopped" I guess also, oddly enough !

[@MultiEvile]

nice car ,, fromm brasill

[@Admiral86ful]

Awesome car! Is the motor complete original? Which engine color did you use?

[@leannmeixner8073]

Ford didnt offer turn signals until 1951 I think, this car has an aftermarket switch added and the lights rewired to make that work.

[@braydenmartindale]

Push button ignition in a 60 year old car!

[@brandowalk97]

How'd you do that nobody can start this car but me. That thing is nice

[@HITHEREFOLKS]

do the gauges on the left side have the needles,or do they come with an idiot light already ? i know these cars were fast, will it do close to 100 mph ? did they also have an inline 6 ? lovely car !

[@mikeholland2346]

Radio needs approx. 15 secs to warm up. (8:20)

You haven't watched one of the best movies ever in history?!

[@ralphj.cuevas6523]

1948 Ford Convertible: Lovely auto, beautifully restored. One thing however, those chromed gauges under the center dash seem not to be "original". Clearly modern after market installation. Thanks for the tour.

[@jeepguy95]

My cousin has a '40 Ford Convertible!

[@ekiller5689]

yes it is, very unusual for a car of it's age
