The Hagerty valuation site lists a super deluxe coupe and a super deluxe club coupe for 1946. I have never know for sure what constitutes a "club coupe". I believe in some years it was a convertible but in others it was a longer coupe. What was it in 1946?

Back in the day "club coupe" referred to a coupe body with a small rear seat, also called a 5 passenger coupe. I believe they were generic terms, not referring to any make of car. Convertibles were sometimes called a "convertible coupe".

I believe Hagerty is in error as far as Fords go when he talks about a "Club" coupe. Ford had two coupes in various models in 1946. A Coupe with no rear seat 69A-77A and 77B and a Sedan Coupe with a rear seat 69A-72B. The Sedan Coupe may only have been available as a Super Deluxe (72B). The Coupe appears to have been available as both a Deluxe (77A) and a Super Deluxe (77B). Interestingly Ford called the Sportsman a "Sportsman Convertible Coupe. Ford called the plain convertible a "Super Deluxe Convertible Club Coupe".

I have a '46, no back seat, driver/passenger seat the back hinges forward (open) and opens another truck area, separated by a wall from the trunk area. This area has a deck, tray behind the seat, am assuming I have a Business Coupe, this correct ? Any idea how many of these were built ?

According to the book The V-8 Album published by the Early Ford V-8 Club you have a Coupe. You don't say whether it is a Deluxe or a Super Deluxe. According to the book 10,670 Deluxe Coupes 69A-77A were produced and 12,249 Super Deluxe Coupes 69A-77B were produced. Ford did not call it a Business Coupe although it had no rear seat and had the shelf you describe.

"Club Coupe" was not a "generic" description in 1937 and 1938--Ford offered Club Coupes for both years (78-720 and 81A-720 respectively). I believe the term Club Coupe was not used again by Ford until 1949 when it was used in the Custom De Luxe line. There was no such thing as a 1946 Ford Club Coupe. . . . 78-730B This message was edited by TonyM on 3-17-15 @ 7:38 PM

I thought Ford made two different coupe bodies between 1946-48. One was based on the doors of the 2 door sedan. The other was based on the front doors of a 4 door sedan.

dj You are correct. There was a Coupe and a Sedan Coupe. The coupe appears to have used the same doors as the 4 door sedan and probably did not have a back seat. 10,670 Deluxe Coupes 69A-77A were produced and 12,249 Super Deluxe Coupes 69A-77B were produced. Then there was the Sedan Coupe which appears to have used the front doors from the 2 door sedan. It would have had a back seat. 70,826 Super Deluxe Sedan Coupes were produced model 69A-72B. There appears to be no Deluxe Sedan Coupe. The roof and rear quarter stampings would have been different between the coupe and sedan coupe. 42 Wagon

Just to add some trivia to 42wagon's info, the Super Deluxe Sedan Coupe is also called the "long door coupe" by some. The rear seat in mine can accommodate three people of up to medium stature. This message was edited by Drbrown on 7-12-15 @ 8:20 PM
