1947 Ford Super Deluxe Sedan - Black - 1,999 Miles - Flathead V8, Manual
Overview
This 1947 Ford Super Deluxe represents a pivotal moment in American automotive history. The post-war Ford was the first all-new design to reach the market after World War II, and the Super Deluxe trim was the flagship offering, bringing genuine luxury to the mass market. With its distinctive horizontal grille bars, rounded fenders, and substantial chrome detailing, the 1947 Ford established design language that would influence the industry for years. This particular sedan is a right-hand drive example, suggesting Australian market provenance, making it a genuinely rare find in the classic car landscape.
The vehicle presents in beautifully restored condition throughout. The black lacquer paint holds excellent gloss across all panels with crisp panel gaps and straight lines indicating quality restoration work. Chrome trim is bright and well-maintained, from the substantial front bumper to the rear guards and window surrounds. The whitewall tyres and steel wheels with full hubcaps complete the authentic period presentation. Interior trim shows the meticulous attention to detail expected of a quality restoration, with the black and cream striped upholstery presenting in excellent condition, the steering wheel and dashboard controls clean and functional, and all interior brightwork polished to a high standard.
At just 1,999 miles on the odometer, this Super Deluxe represents either a recently completed restoration or an exceptionally well-preserved original. The flathead V8 engine bay is clean and organised, with correct detailing and original-style components. This is a vehicle that will turn heads at any classic car event and offers genuine investment potential in the post-war American classic segment.
