Classic Ford
While out for a walk, we spotted this Classic Ford.
I am not certain of the year, but think it is 1949 to 1952.Norm Dunne

hard to tell the grill, but looks like a '51.. '52 was a different body all togetherYou don't know what you've got til it's gone

No, it's a '49.......in '50 they went to a gas door instead of a cap on the outside, and the little parking lights are also '49. Cool car.

We did some research when Dan got his, that is how I know, otherwise the '49-'51's confused me some too.

The grill is what really threw me.. w/ the normal '49 and '50 grill looking like this, the blue car in the picture has a diffrent grill, which closer resembles a '51 grill but still not quite...
'49-'50 Chevys are even harder to tell apart, as it is just a slight diffrence in the grill that tells them apart.. I think it's cool how the old cars changed a little every year.. not like todays cars where they run the same style for 2-3 years..
I know you can tell a '51-'52 Chevy apart by, having or not having the grill teeth, but if a '51 has had '52 grill teeth added, you can still identify it as a '51 because of the way the parking lights mount in the frontYou don't know what you've got til it's gone

Yeah, you are right Matt, I just saw that. Maybe it is a Canadian version, they had some differences I think from the American versions. The rest of the car looks pretty stock, so I don't think he did a grille swap to a '50 Merc grille.
Would love to see a head on shot.

Yep, the Meteors had a Merc type grille. If you open the hood and look at it from the inside, you can see where the piece was welded in to get rid of the bullet housing.

Wiring can be a pain. My problem is I get in a groove and have a plan and then get sidelined to another project and when I come back I forget what the heck my plan was.
