THE 1947 FORD SUPER DELUXE

As World War II came to a close. the American population was eager to purchase automobiles. The automobile companies could sell everything they could make. The 1946 Ford production - like many of its competitors - was a restyled version of their Pre-War vehicle.   For the Ford Super Deluxe. the front grille was changed to include horizontal bars on the outside of the rectangular opening.   The 1947 Ford Super Deluxe greatly resembled the popular 1946 model. with a few styling changes. The grille was slightly modified and the red tracer paint was removed from it. a hood-mounted emblem was added and circular parking lights were placed below the headlights.

The 1947 Super Deluxe was powered by the legendary 239 cubic-inch flathead V-8 that developed 100 horsepower.  Standard luxury items included armrests on all doors. chrome window moldings. a horn ring and two sun visors.

THIS 1947 FORD SUPER DELUXE CONVERTIBLE IS BY FAR OF MUCH HIGHER QUALITY THAN ALMOST ANY VINTAGE AUTOMOBILE LISTED ON EBAY.   

THE RESERVE FOR THIS AUCTION IS SET SUBSTANTIALLY BELOW THIS “SHOW QUALITY” SUPER DELUXE CONVERTIBLE'S VALUE!

DRIVEN ONLY 15 MILES SINCE RESTORATION!

This 1947 Ford Convertible was beautifully restored and has been driven only 15 miles since.   The paint. chrome. convertible top. and boot are perfect!  Everything on the exterior of this car looks like new!  There is a very minor scratch on the driver's seat.   For some reason the fuel gauge stopped working.   I suspect it's a loose wire or perhaps the sending unit (very easy to fix).   The horn does not work. but I can see that the wire is disconnected at the horn.   The plastic handle on the spot light has begun to crumble.   Under the hood. there is some minor discoloration on the engine heads presumably caused from a bit of coolant getting on the engine when at running temperature.   The hoses have since been retightened.   That's it!  Everything inside looks like new!  This is a “superior” restoration that is almost too nice to drive. and a Super Deluxe convertible the new owner will be very proud to own and show.  

Note that the mileage listed above is the total miles driven since the restoration.  

This Ford will definitely turn heads. get thumbs up virtually everywhere it goes. and win you lots of trophies!
