1947 Ford Overview

For 1947, the Ford cars againg received only minor cosmetic face-lifts. Most noticeable were the addition of a new hood ornament an changing of the parking light from rectangular to round and relocating them to beneath the headlights. Also the red tracer paint on the grille of the 1946 model was eliminated.

On a historical note, Henry Ford, the man who put America on wheels, died at the age of 83 on April 7, 1947.

Ford offered two model series of their passenger cars - the Deluxe Series, the base trim level, and the Super Deluxe Series, the top trim level. Both series cars could be purchased with either a six-cylinder or eight-cylinder engine.

The Deluxe series included rubber moldings around the window openings, a horn button instead of a ring, and sun visor and armrest only on the driver's side.

The Super Deluxe series included chrome moldings for the window openings, a horn ring, two sun visors, armrests on all doors, passenger assist straps on the interior "B" pillars, and a horizontal chrome strip on the body. The convertible models also included leather interiors.
