1947/48 Ford, missing the upper bar of the grille. |

In my view , this is not a Ford Super DeLuxe and also not a 1947/8.When one takes a close look at the grille bars , at the side trim bar of the hood and belt and at the front fender trim bar , it appears that they are of the smaller 1946 ribbed type. 1947 and 1948 Fords had thicker and rounder non ribbed trims. The front fender trim bar position also appears 1946 , in 1947/8 it was placed somewhat lower on the fender. The front hood ornament is of the larger 1946 winged type that indicated if the car was a six or an eight , it does not appear to have the separate 6 or V8 emblem at the base of the hood as in 1947/8. Concerning the position of the standing lights under the headlights , one must be very prudent with period Fords because the original inboard standing lights placed above the grille in 1946 were very often later removed , blanked off and repaced by standing lights under the headlights as in 47/48 for legal reasons ( 1946 ones were too high and too close to comply with many export market regulations).The upper grille bar is indeed missing. Windshield reveals are rubber. So I'd rather go for a 1946 Ford DeLuxe Fordor sedan type 73 A. |
