A few modern upgrades were added to make cruising in the Florida sunshine a bit easier including a 12 volt electrical system, electric fuel pump, and electric fan. The chrome and stainless trim beautifully accents the burgundy exterior which blends nicely with the beige cloth interior. With looks and comfort this is one easy Ford to cruise in and enjoy. Due to the War, civilian production had halted on Fords from 1942 until July of 1945 when it picked back up until 1948. With not much change in the styling of the Ford in the post-war model years, the 47’ initially shared a similar body style as the 1946 Ford line. 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. Options include: cloth interior, radial white wall tire, and hub caps. - See more at: www.gatewayclas...
