Deluxe car is presented as the same car used in the movie, "Karate
Kid"( Wax on, wax off!) It features the correct Bonney-Lebaron
upholstery, bumper guards, fender skirts, windshield washer and
Blue Dot tail lights. It has the 239 CID flathead V-8 with 100
hp.The 1947 Ford line was similar to the short 1946. Visual
differences included the removal of the red accents from the grill
and the two small lights located just above it. Ford began titling
1947s in February 1947. For the first few weeks, the 1947 model was
identical to the 1946. Ford then restyled the body slightly first
by moving the parking lights from above the grill to below each
headlight. Exterior moldings were changed from grooved to a smooth
design. A new hood ornament with a blue plastic insert was
installed. A new hubcap design became available in March. The
interior dash color was changed from red accent to gold. By
September, the roof-mounted antenna was moved to the cowl. Horns
were moved to in front of the radiator from the engine compartment.
The final 1947 models were titled in November
