Ford De Luxe 1947

General description : 1947 Ford Super Deluxe One of the coolest things about classic cars is all of the variety you can choose from.  From different makes to completely different body styles within that make.  There is no doubt that the late 40's Fords have their following but you rarely see these cars out!  That is probably because the horizontal grill body style was only present for 3 years before cars completely changed with the onset of the shoe box Ford.  The very nicely built 47 is all steel and is extremely fun to drive. The car was built/restored approximately 5 years ago and has been well cared for and hardly ever driven since.  It also just received some new upholstery work on the inside.  Look around at some classic classifieds and you will see that it is very difficult to get in a built up Street Rod like this for this low price.  The wide front fenders and swooping body lines give the car a really great look that is very nostalgic.  The paint on it is fresh and was done in a bright solid red that looks great next to the chrome and stainless.  From the side pieces to the window trim, it is all there.  It has a bent style front windshield that looks great as does all of the glass.  The exterior lights all work properly and custom old school blue dot tail lights are mounted in the rear.  Pulling in a bit more nostalgia is the tri bar style hubcaps with thin white wall tires under each corner.  When it comes to the drive train you will find a lot of it was newly rebuilt.  The 350 V8 motor came out of a 1978 Chevrolet P/U and fits under the hood nicely.  These motors are very reliable and being newly rebuilt it has zero issues.  It starts up with ease and has a nice smooth idle.  Polished valve covers are in place with an air cleaner scoop up top.  Other nice polish parts include the chrome alternator and polished radiator.  Headers into dual exhaust is in place and delivers a great sound routed out of the rear.  The engine compartment is very nicely done and a custom mirrored firewall is in place which always looks great for popping the hood at car shows.  Backing up the motor is a 350 automatic transmission that was also completely gone through and rebuilt.  The car has a power brake system in place and utilizes a dual master cylinder.  Not only does the car run well, but it is a comfortable drive too.  A Nova front end is in place with a Ford 9" found in the rear.    Moving onto the interior you will see that it is a very nice combination of Beige with faux Red alligator that creates a very clean look.  The upholstery is very nicely done and is in great condition.  The dual high back bucket seats are very comfortable and are easily adjustable.  They sit to each side of a custom console that houses cupholders and the aftermarket AM/FM/CD player.  On the dash are black faced gauges and the original style trim.  Other upgrades include the polished Lecarra steering wheel that is wrapped in the same tan leather.  Overall, the car really has a very nice finish and would make a great classic whether your the collector or novice car guy.  They marked a big change in body style for Ford and were produced for only a few years so you can bet they are only going to be harder and harder to find as time goes on. Get this car for a huge bargain at the reduced price of only $34,500.00 $26,350.00!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
