The legendary powerhouse, the 1947 Ford Super DeLuxe Convertible!
The Ford V8 Super Deluxe, known for its mighty Flathead 8 cylinder engine that Bigfoot would probably envy. This also meant it was in high demand by the local sheriff. Owning a Super Deluxe was like having a personal magnet for traffic fines. As if the police could not resist the temptation to pull over anyone driving this beast to take a closer look at her.
Get in and be enchanted by the craftsmanship and details that characterise this car. The beautifully designed body features subtle changes that refine the previous year’s model. The distinctive grille is sharper than the mind of a Texas cowboy. With red accents and the two small lights above the grill have been replaced by large headlights, where the parking lights are placed below. The whole thing exudes American class of the brutal 1950s!
Our specimen features a unique Motor-Lift Top system. With a simple press of a button, the convertible roof opens or closes effortlessly, allowing onlookers to enjoy the driver with yellow/blond dyed hair and a wide smile. The powerful V8 engine lets out its sound and draws attention where it belongs.
This stunning classic was produced in limited numbers at the time, of which 12,033 were ever made. Each one is a true American work of art on wheels. This one is very special though, The car comes from the Ford Museum in Hillegom. A fantastic feature are the two hand-operated floodlights. These can nicely disorient the Texan cowboy.
The car is finished by Ford called Maize Yellow, with contrasting brown cloth and vinyl upholstery and a fawn convertible roof.
Seize this rare opportunity to own a piece of film history, as the 1947 Ford Super DeLuxe Convertible played an iconic role in the film “The Karate Kid”. Ralph Macchio, the star of the film, owns this beautiful car to this day, a great opportunity to also be part of this rich Hollywood tapestry.
