Street Feature: Tracy Tucker’s White Hot 1946 Ford Club Coupe

1200-4This 1946 Ford Club Coupe has a look that is both subtle and outspoken at the same time. A white car is usually one of convenience — it’s a color that can hide dirt well and doesn’t show scratches. In this case, however, the white acts as a stark contrast to the orange flames streaked across the outside of this hot rod. Although it isn’t an over performer, the small-block Chevy engine powering this car give it a little kick all the same.

A 327 cubic-inch engine out of a 1969 Nova that’s been bored .30 over is at the heart of this classic Ford and a TH350 transmission with a Ford 9-inch rearend make up the rest of the drivetrain. The engine itself has been upgraded with an Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock carburetor, and an improved camshaft.

Tracy Tucker of Hansville, Washington, has had this car for fifteen years and faces a unique dilemma each time he drives it: should I drive my 1956 Ford F100, my 1965 MGB convertible, or my 1940 Club Coupe? A dilemma we’re sure you all wish you had to deal with as well. “I have a hard time choosing what I am going to drive sometimes.” Tracy told us.

1200-6Tracy also added the front end from a Mustang II for better handling and power steering for improved comfort. An obviously impressive car, what made Tracy choose this as opposed to anything else? “I was into Corvettes in Texas,” Tracy detailed. “But I sold them to get into hot rods.” Not a bad transition if you ask us.
