The spare wheel cover suggests that this is a 1937/8 Ford 8 Model 7Y deluxe. -- Last edit: 2024-01-08 09:22:05 |

Listed here in the Yorkshire Museum collection (scroll down) "1938 Ford ‘E’ Saloon 1938 This very rare 1938 Ford 8 (7Y) 4 seat family car was produced for just a few months between 1937 and 1939 before the outbreak World War II closed down production. It has an 850cc side-valve engine, cable brakes and 6-volt electrical system. It was the actual vehicle used by the station carpenter at RAF Elvington during World War II, travelling to and from Howden throughout the period. This is the “deluxe” model having chrome around the air vents and bonnet plus a covered spare wheel. It has running boards and 4 opening side and front windows. After the war Ford began to make a similar though plainer model, the called the “Popular” with a four-door version called the “Prefect”. The “sit up and beg” version of the Popular continued until 1959. This vehicle still runs and operates." Not sure I can see the chrome as mentioned ..... -- Last edit: 2024-01-09 13:54:25 |

Much of the above is wrong. The author should be advised that organisations like museums which promulgate duff information are not only doing that, but robbing themselves of credibility. Ford did not build a four cylinder sidevalve engine of 850cc, the British types were 933cc (Eight) and 1172cc (Ten). After the war, the 7Y Eight was replaced by the Anglia, the 7W Ten by the E93A Prefect. The Popular did not appear until 1953, and was an amalgam of the short wheelbase Anglia E494A and the engine from the Prefect E93A and E493A. The steel spare wheel cover and the running boards do, indeed, indicate a 7Y DeLuxe. Where the “E” came from is a mystery. As for “very rare” Ford built 26,715 7Y Eight DeLuxe cars and 32,811 standard models, between August 1937 and October 1939. -- Last edit: 2024-01-08 20:43:02 |
