1948FORD SUPER DELUXE 8 CYLINDER TUDOR

FRAME OFF RESTORED SHOW CAR

BACKGROUND

1948 WOULD MARK THE LAST YEAR OF PRODUCTION OF THE HIGHLY POPULAR FAT FENDERED FORDS. UNKNOWN BY MANY, HERE ACTUALLY WERE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 1947 AND LAST YEAR 1948 FORDS. THE MOST OBVIOUS DIFFERENCE FOR'48 BEING A LARGER IGNITION KEY STARTING ASSEMBLY MOUNTED, UST TO THE RIGHT OF THE STEERING COLUUMN. TURNING THE KEY NO LONGER REQUIRED FLIPPING ON A LOCK SWITCH ALSO. ONCE THE KEY WAS TURNED ON, HEN JUST DEPRESSING A STARTER BUTTON MOUNTED TO THE FAR LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH WOULD START THE CAR.

IN ADDITION, HERE WAS A CLEARLY VISIBLE STYLING CLUE PRESENT TO BE SEEN FOR ALL THOSE IN THE KNOW. THIS WAS IN THE FORM OF A SLIGHTLY WIDER AND SOMEWHAT ROUNDER UPPER STAINLESS STEEL UPPER BODY SIDE MOLDING THAT WAS NOT CREASED AS 1947'S HAD BEEN. THIS STRIP RAN FROM THE FRONT OF THE HOOD ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE LENGTH OF THE CAR, NDING JUST BEHIND THE FUEL FILLER DOOR WHEN VIEWING THE CAR FROM THE LEFT SIDE.
