Elise? I'm guessing you can distinguish that though.

I purchased my 1948 Ford Super Deluxe Convertible in 2017 as a collection of parts with no engine, transmission or interior. I purchased a Ford 5.0L short block, bought an AOD transmission and rebuilt a Ford Explorer 8.8" rearend with 3:50 gears. A Mustang II front end was adapted to provide independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc brakes. Power steering was accomplished by adapting the electronic power steering unit from a 2016 Toyota. For cruising comfort, 6-way power bucket seats from a Buick were used and other custom features were added including power windows, A/C and electronic cruise control. The color chosen was Metallic Black Cherry Pearl with a custom leather interior. The project took over four years and 5,000 man-hours with lots of help from friends. The car named "Patti Ann" after my wife, who was very supportive throughout the long build process, has been on the road since April of 2021. It has proven to be a reliable and very comfortable car for cruising.
