1946 Ford Convertible Vintage Ad - Ford's Out Front, 100 HP V-8 Engine
Vintage 1946 Ford print advertisement showing a green convertible illustration.
This document is a vintage color magazine advertisement for the 1946 Ford Convertible, headlined "Ford's Out Front with the young-in-heart!" The illustration shows a man and woman driving a dark green Ford Convertible along a scenic coastal road while a telephone lineman on a utility pole waves to them. A smaller inset illustration depicts Ford's V-type 8-cylinder engine, and the famous "There's a Ford in Your Future" crystal-ball logo appears in the lower left. The ad copy emphasizes that Ford is the only car in its class with 100 horsepower and a V-type, 8-cylinder engine. It highlights the convertible's power top ("It's a sedan in 30 seconds!") and the lively performance of the 100-horsepower V-8. Readers are urged to visit their friendly Ford dealer and place an order for a Ford Convertible, "the car that's smart for the young-in-heart." A footnote promotes two Ford-sponsored radio programs: The Ford–Bob Crosby Show on CBS (Wednesdays 9:30–10 p.m. EST) and The Ford Sunday Evening Hour on ABC (Sundays 8–9 p.m. EST). The document contains no technical specifications, part numbers, or wiring information—it is purely period advertising literature.
