Vehicle Description
1947 Ford Sedan
Henry Ford based his business model early on as company that would
create cars for the masses, the common man. This was the Model T,
of which they made millions! Fast forward to 1947 where America was
post war, prosperous and had an ever-increasing middle class. That
original concept was kicked in for the Ford Sedan. The late 1940's
version of the car for the common man.
This consignment could be considered an early restoration-mod. It
has retained most of its original charm but has been upgraded with
a 302ci V-8, custom cloth interior, and given a full once over. A
few items of bling, and voila!...we give you this '47 Ford
Sedan.
Exterior
A deep black, chromed belt line arrows, chrome bumpers, chrome
accented fenders, 2 door modified sedan will live up to the phrase
"fanfare for the common man" A nice set of original fenders, on all
4 corners, a split windshield framed in chrome, and a beautifully
styled grille visually tell people you are to go to the front of
the parade. Chromed steel solid 5 bolt wagon wheels with Goodrich
T/A's ground this sedan and help with some handling as well.
Interior
Gray tweed cloth buckets with stitching reminiscent of an old metal
porch chair in front, and a matching bench in back. Door panels
keep the same stitched motif and are covered in the tweed as well.
Up front, an original Art Deco styled black metal dash, peppered
with chrome and machined aluminum knobs, houses round gold numbered
accented speedometer and clock. 4 rectangular gauges front an
original steering wheel which presents in excellent condition. An
original heater is seen under the dash, as well as a long shift
lever and gray carpeting. A light gray felt headliner floats above
the passenger area and shows with no marks or tears.
Drivetrain
A 302 Small Block Ford V8 is topped with a performance air cleaner
in chrome and backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission.
Undercarriage
Virtually no rust is seen anywhere excepting exhaust pipes which
show surface rust. Otherwise very clean and correct.

piece that's fun, historic AND reliable. If you're looking for a
