Saturn Simon ◊ 2005-10-20 20:00	I doubt it, I'm not so good on pre-war cars, unfortunately!
Saturn Simon ◊ 2005-10-20 20:04	On this one, "Ford Business Coupe" is its correct model name, not "Ford Business".
pilou ◊ 2005-10-21 12:39	This is not a Ford "Business Coupe" but a Ford " Sedan Coupe"The " Business Coupes "seated three and had a long rear deck, whilst the " Sedan Coupes" seated five and had a shorter rear deck.The two-door sedan coupes were a popular body style available as "Super De Luxe "execution only.The picture is rather obscure , but apparently the car has the parking lights under the headlights , full chrome strips and hood badge identifying it as a 1947 or early 1948 model ( series designation 79A or 89A with the V8 engine or 7HA or 8HA with the six cylinder engine)

Saturn Simon ◊ 2005-10-21 17:42	Pilou is right. I can see the rear seats now! Sedan Coupe it is then... As for it being a 1947 model, I'll take his word for it. He obviously knows his old Fords. -- Last edit: 2005-10-21 17:44:20
