Big Dave ◊ 2007-11-26 02:21	I would say it is a base model Ford from 1952.
58Roadmaster ◊ 2007-11-26 02:54	I'd agree there, Mainline Fordor sedan [73A] (V8 powered as indicated by front fender emblem)
Ray B. ◊ 2007-11-26 10:53	58Roadmaster wrote I'd agree there, Mainline Fordor sedan [73A] (V8 powered as indicated by front fender emblem) Agreed, and this is a 1953 model (in 1952 the V8 emblem was placed further back, and there wouldn't be no return of the middle bar of the grille on the side, like here). -- Last edit: 2007-11-26 10:56:30
58Roadmaster ◊ 2007-11-26 12:21	Body code should be [73A] for the Ford's 4 door base sedan, 73B is for Mercury and Lincoln.
DynaMike ◊ 2007-11-26 13:34	Sorry, it was a typo... Btw, also the Customline had [73B].
pilou ◊ 2007-11-27 09:17	This is not a Ford Mainline but a 1953 Ford Customline Fordor sedan ( 73) :it has the side trim srips that were absent on the Ford Mainline .Logo on front fender shows that it is a V8 powered one.
