The 1946 Ford Sportsman Convertible was a luxury variant of the standard Ford convertible, distinguished by decorative maple framing and mahogany panelling applied at Ford's Iron Mountain facility in Michigan. Designed by Eugene 'Bob' Gregorie and approved by Henry Ford II, only 723 examples were built in 1946. This particular car is claimed to be the final unit produced in December of that year, and it received a frame-off restoration by marque specialist Nick Alexander in the mid-2000s. It is presented in black with a dark red interior and retains numerous period-correct accessories.
