Many years ago, around 2013 or so, I saw this 46 Ford at Coupe Devils Bonanza in Norway. At the time it was owned by Ken Norrena. I instantly fell in love with it then. This car was the main reason I imported a similar 48 Ford some years ago, but moving to Sweden, I sold it to a friend in Norway. This green 46 was previsouly chopped by Janne Kutja. One of his earlier chops (at 23 years of age as he told me recently) but done so well, and both being fans of Jesse Lopez 41 no wonder why I liked this car so much. Kjetil Kvipt later did the mods for the Cadillac grille. Long story short, I sold my 51 Mercury recently and what pops up for sale? This 46, so now it recides in my garage and hopefully it will be redone with new paint and other finishing touches since its been around for a while and needs some TLC here and there.
Congrats Mano...when dreams come true they are hopefully as nice as that one...look forward to you're taking it forward...she's a beaut...
I love it! Looks great for 23 years, I wish my stuff looked that good the day they were finished. Great garage, too.
