Today On what it’s like.. 1947 ford super deluxe. Lots of ads in this one go over the differences between Souper deluxe and deluxe as well as a really nice comparison between a 41 Ford and a 47 Ford because Ford being a huge player in World War II production. Just blew off the dust to all the old dies and sold the 41 Ford until 1948 essentially.. Forgot to mention the differences between 46 and 47 they aren’t much red highlights on bumpers are the only difference is between a 46 and 47.

Grass Roots, "Midnight Confession"
Hey, an open question to each and every American viewer. You have a 'Petroleum Council' yet you call a liquid a gas, which then becomes legitimised by the term Gasoline. Why do you guys use this term? We can actually get gas here for cars and delivery trucks. It is very cheap, at half the price, and is called LPG. Liquid Petroleum Gas. When I lived in the US, the gas was as cheap as borscht, Australia is the third cheapest, so we love our V8s, but nobody has been able to explain this conundrum to me. Paper or Plastic; Petrol or Gas?
If you can get the Triumph TR 5/6 away from the wall, an evaluation would still be appreciated. The hood forming brows above the headlights is as unique and specific as an early Mustang for recognition. Neither could be anything else.
The last hurrah for pontoon fenders. I think I'd get the flathead 6 & not pay extra money for 3 more mph. They lasted a long time & ran cooler. Nice to see Interesting radio with two windows, one for tone scale & the other for stations. Didn't Mr. Miyagi have a 47 Ford? WYR picks: #1 and 2 Are the Chevys since they look like baby Cadillacs that year.
Fat Fendered Ford
Crouch ,crouch , crouch !
My friends and I started a new drinking game . Everytime we hear you mention CROUCH we take a shot of Jack Daniel's and we move on to the next video .
Hey first you said 34 and later it's 36 . What is it for real ? Lol
WYR – 47 Chevy Ford woody. Ps. You havent lived until you change a water pump on those V8's, part of the engine mount – and don't forget the "hidden" bolt.
Hi Jay,
Another great vid! I agree with you about the "6" preference. My grandfather ran an auto repair as a side business. He told me once that it always put him in a bad mood when someone would bring in a Ford V8 for repair. He claimed the 6 was a better engine. Old Henry rushed the V8 into production in '32 against the wishes of his engineers. Good on you to feature the 'The Grass Roots'. Loved them when I was a kid. Trivia on the '41 Ford; They used 2-piece front fenders for one year only. Late in the year Ford offered the chrome strip to fill the unsightly seam. 'Would you rather': Dodge and Dodge. Take care young man.
You have to admire how quickly the American automobile manufacturers and other manufacturers were able to transition over to wartime production. It was truly amazing and the speed and amount of products they manufactured was unseen anywhere in the history of this world. Absolutely unbelievable. Sadly, we will never see that type of event ever happening again here in the United States. We just don't have that capacity anymore and manufacturing has become a global thing.
That said. And putting all this previous stuff aside, as an automotive enthusiast I can only wonder what type of automobiles we would have seen had the automobile factories been allowed to continue on their present courses without diverting to wartime production? Even considering that the 47's from everybody were pretty much their 1941 cars, I still can't help but feel the automobile manufacturers gained both new technologies and more experience at building products better and quicker.
Eventually leading to the giant boom of really, really beautiful automobiles from the 50s. An era When automobile manufacturers were able to turn over a new model every year or every two years. The methods learned from wartime production had to have helped with that.
Thanks Jay for another informative video. Really enjoyed it.
Hi Jay!: You made it REALLY easy for a long time Fordy! Fords on both! Really nice car on this episode! My Mom told me that the family had a 1941 Ford before I came along. . .
Nice one of my favorite cars!
Could you do a feature on a 49 Mercury?
Nice I didn't know they had a panel version of the car!
Biff drove '47 and '46 Ford convertibles in Back to the Future. Watch for the shift!
Would take both.
They Are NOT Bumper Over Riders. They Are Bumper GUARDS. To Help GUARD The Grille And Rear From Damage If Two Bumpers Might Become Locked Together. And To Assist In PUSHING Another Vehicle If Necessary, When The Bumpers Don't Match Up Exactly. An OVER RIDER Is An Extra Beam Attached To The Top Of The Bumper Guards, That Runs Parallel Almost From End To End With The Lower Bumper, OVER RIDING The Main Bumper…
Earliest cars I remember my dad having was a 32 Ford, a 40 ford with a V8 flathead (that he claimed had a Mercury V8 flathead in it and could outrun a Hudson Hornet), and I remember him having a 49 blue ford that he nicknamed "The Blue Goose."
What a pretty convertible, Jay. thank you for covering it. And I'll take both Fords.
Very similar to the chev
Ergonomics of a car is a very relevant consideration and we'd have no idea if it wasn't made a point of by reaching out your hand to show back seat room, or showing the footwell vs door opening space, pointing out contours of the bodywork, etc. Details count. I usually would miss things that you make a point of showing. Good descriptive video work.
Ford- ford
Great analysis !
Whichever of the three I would fit in the best! I'm 6'7"!

My Dad had a 1946 Sportsman convertible in 1950-53.
