During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

My parents had an identical one from '48 to '53. What a time capsule.
I remember riding in my parent's '47 Ford, almost the same as this one. It was dark blue with the grey interior. I used to ride standing up on the transmission hump in the back seat.
JuniorFan08 these memories are the ones that last
Yes the era of ash trays - who didn''t smoke then? And the ers of no seat belts or child seats.......or air bags.....
How old are you?
@@2vaclav I'm 60.
@@kfl611 Wow, good job mate. I was just wondering since what you said kinda coresponded with you having to a bit older than us, younglings. Hope all is good!
it has push button to start!
LOL yup till 51 in ford.
Wayy ahead of time
Almost all cars had push to start back then
70 years ahead of its time!
@Gappie Al Kebabi Choke is on the right, start button is on the left. Just see how he starts the car.
You're not a car fan if you can't appreciate the classics.
Truth. Nothing like old American iron.
Nate S. true
True bro
So true. It's way different when you own 2 as your go to vehicles.
You know you're a car fan when you cool the engine while driving
I learned to drive in a '49 Ford in '62. Also flat head V-8, push button starting and three speed. I helped rebuild the engine. My brother bought it for $25 in '59.
This is really my favorite era of classics, before they had their first post-war redesigns. You're lucky to have found such a well-kept example. Great color too!
Brings back a lot of good memories from when I worked at my dad's Humble Gas Station in Corpus Christi, Tx, in the 50's. Love your video. Too many of the other guys just show you their feet and the dash during a drive-around. Thanks for making this 48 look good.
We had the 1946 convertible with electric convertible top control and fold down rear window. We drove it for 10 years and it ended its life powering a saw mill. Fond memories!
WOW! What a neat piece of history! My Grandpa had a very similar faded, dark blue '48 ford deluxe his whole life. There isn't much I remember about him. Sadly, he passed when I was very young. BUT I do remember him shifting his 3-on-the-tree, and singing while driving his '48.
Thanks Saabkyle04. this was a real treat.
Amazing car you have a gem on you're hands!!!!! If I had a car like that I'd never sell it
Ha, Push to start since 1948!
My ford 8n tractor has push button start lol its definitely not a new feature idk why everyone thinks it so cool
Gappie Al Kebabi Yes but it’s got starter button
Yet a 2019 Camry (low trim) doesn’t
One feature you may have not known about is. The inside door handles when pushed up lock the doors from the inside to the outside. Pretty cool feature I must add!
I bought my first classic car a few months ago---a 1948 Ford Super Deluxe convertible, black with red leather and tan corduroy interior, with the original flathead and 6v electrical. (Loving it so far.) Excellent video on this line of cars, Kyle! You did a great job balancing the technical detail with your summary information and demonstration driving. Keep up the good work!
My uncle had one of these when I was a little guy. I couldn't wait till you started the motor. What memories I knew the sound of that motor.
It's cool to see that Ford was implementing the Pushbutton start, not only in the present day but in the 1940's as well.
18MPG? That's actually not too shabby
What (to Me) that IS shabby, is that *despite all the "Electronic this & that" & "Plastic this & Plastic that" (like Plastic Bumpers that self-destruct on impact), MANY Autos STILL get this kind of Mileage.
It's a crime really, that in all these Years economy has not improved at all.
RetroCaptain Lol and the 1983 Honda Civic gets more gas mileage than a Prius
BOOHOO cry ! LOL !
Especially for a flathead V8.
RetroCaptain
You're not considering the difference in Horsepower relative to fuel economy. Today a 450 horsepower Corvette gets 28 miles to gallon on the highway.
And my 1.5 L 4-cylinder Toyota makes more horsepower than this V8. I'm not knocking the Ford believe me I think it's gorgeous and I'd love to own one but you have to look at all aspects of fuel consumption to get an idea of the comparison.
The V8 in this car is 3.6 liters. And made 90 horsepower. And I think Kyle said 180 lbft feet of torque.
My 1.5 liter Toyota makes 105 horsepower and about 90 lb of torque. And I averaged 30-35 miles per gallon City
i really like that 'air conditioning' idea for the higher speeds, much better than rolling down windows
My first car was a '47 Super Deluxe Tudor. I had factory shades on the back side windows.
What a beautiful car, greetings from Italy!
What a nice streamlined lumpy looking car, I love it. So cool, not quite still 1930's styling, and not quite 1950''s styling either, kind of a little of both. You can see how the war interrupted the progression in body styles. Packard had the first car AC in the 1930s.
My Grandpa actually has this type of car and to this day he still drives with it. The car itself is also in proper maintenance as it looked like it was just manufactured yesterday.
i am a British lad but i am fascinated by american cars from the 1940s fords espesily
+jack cooke finally
+GameandcheezA.K.A.Gamecubekid874 what do you mean finally
jack cooke a lot of british people I see consider American cars bad
+GameandcheezA.K.A.Gamecubekid874 i think there well nice
jack cooke british and american cars are masterpices.
Love this original owner's manual at 27:00. My present car has an owner's manual 4 inches thick! My brother owned one of these cars that was a coupe and at the same time I owned a '47 Mercury V8 convertible. I really miss the simplicity of the older cars.
My grandpa said to me that he had a "V8 48 Ford" And he said it was a nice car, just accelerate and it would go. He said too that once the radiator was not working so he pulled it out of the car, fixed it and attached it at the front of the car, or something like that, and drove it like this for a while, and he said too that he disassembled the whole engine and put it together again. He told me too that once a guy was trying to outpass him and I think he was in a muddy/dirty place/terrain or something, and then he accelerated the car and the guy in the back was so far behind after that. Ah, I think the car on the video was this same car model he had. I miss him.
My grandpa has a '48 Ford Super Deluxe. It won a judge's choice award at the Dwyer and Michaels auto show. It's a beauty
It is so very nostalgic to have the glimpse of this wonderful car - my grandfather owned this wonderful car - the V8 , then thereafter my father changed it to the one Ford V8 Superdelux - a magnificent car - just mesmerising.
This was made 7 years ago pretty good quality if you ask me
Fantastic automobile. This is a real treat. I was born in 57, but remember as a child taking a trip from New York to Florida in a car like this. I especailly remember the smell.
Beautiful car. It's amazing how far engines have come. This car got 18mpg with a 3.6L V8 with 90hp. My 2015 car has a 2.0L I4 with 174hp and gets around 30mpg!
If that 4 cylinder is naturally aspirated I agree. If it's forced induction then imho, your getting in to apples and Oranges territory.
V8’s have only evolved in power delivery. The MPG on most examples haven’t improved over figures from the 90s.
Beautiful car! Take care of it, truly a master piece.
I would still take this over most of the crap that gets released nowadays. Awesome vid keep doing what you do best. :)
I had the same transmission in my 76 ford f-100, it was a great security system.
I have a vivid '48 Ford memory. I was about six and my father had business at a nearby courthouse. He got me a ice cream cone while I waited in the car. It was a hot day, the ice cream was quickly melting and I tossed the mess out the window and into the drivers window beside me. Fortunately we left before the owner came out to find a melted ice cream cone in the drivers seat. For years afterward whenever I saw a black '48 Tudor I would hide, thinking the owner might be looking for me. :)
LOL that's funny
Whilst being a huge chevy fan, I really do like this car. It looks awesome
And now it’s bought back Awesome! Rest in peace papa 😞
Design and build quality still better than 2020 indian made cars
Nine years ago today!! Still classic to buy!
A beautiful car in a beautiful color. I'd love to own a Ford with a flathead V8.
The superb past memory which makes me nostalgic because I am driver since 1973
Wow Kyle, thank you so much for uploading this video! I've been waiting for this one! I learned some new things too! Your explanation of the transmission shifting and choke were really helpful, along with how to work all the other features of these cars since nobody ever makes videos showing how these things work. Your classic car videos are always my favorite. I saw your Facebook status and it's a shame that you sold this car, but at the same time I understand your reasons. I really want to own one of these post-war 40s Fords sometime in the not-too-distant future hopefully. Watching you drive it was super cool too. Thanks again for taking the time to post this one Kyle! Adding it to my favorites and will be watching it many more times in the future!
Thanks a lot buddy! I'm glad you enjoyed it, it was a lot of fun filming :)
***** Is this car fully restored?
***** Nope, it has never been restored.

Day o my god
These cars were easy to shift, and with only 3 gears - plus reverse - you can stay in each gear a bit longer than modern shift cars. A lot of the 3 speed shift on the floor have the same pattern for shifting - like a backwards 'h'.
Nice. A beautiful piece of history, and your video puts the viewer right in the car with you.
I would not mind having a car like this! I would love to learn how to drive a 3-speed on the column! I think it would be so much fun shifting on the column!
The column shift was very sloppy and just not very good.
@@GTARockman Actually the cars that only came that way had very tight shifters It was only after most cars had automatics did the shifters become sloppy The car companies didn't want to spend money to do it right.
@@GTARockman ,good enough to be used for over thirty years
God i love that engine sound , i wish i was born in those days . Everything was better
Amazing condition man. Nice to see vintage cars on the road
Absolutely LOVE it! You got quite lucky to find an unmodified original like that in such good shape. I really appreciate how you demonstrate how everything works. Keep up the good work!
I'm a lot younger than this car, but I'm old enough to know how wonderful vent windows are. Even if your not a smoker.
What a beautiful example of 1940s American rolling iron! Whoever put those seat-covers on back in the day did you a *huge* favor - the original upholstery would be ruined, were it not for those covers! The interior is damn near perfect!! Gorgeous!
Your videos never disappoint me! Keep up the good work!
Bias ply tires, original V8, original interior... I'm in love.
I'd love to have an old car like this. Thanks for the video.
Always love your vintage car reviews!
Gorgeous car! Antique cars look so much better when they are left stock and not made into a hot rod with modern parts and mag wheels. I bought a '47 Tudor sedan in 1985 when I was in high school. It was my first car. It was an early '47 so it had '46 trim and looked like a '46. Great video.
I really like your classic car reviiews, especially the pre-50's cars, I hope you'll do more 40's car videos. Keep up the good work!
I love this video. A great demonstration of a neat old Ford.
Great review. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks.
One of my dream cars is a 47' Ford Super 8 Deluxe sedan police special. Preferably a L.A police special. Also the 47' Tudor convertible from Back To The Future.
I love how the engine sounds!!!
My grandparents 67 Chevy C-10 has the three on the tree! My grandma is gonna let me try to do it in the spring!
Awesome review Kyle you kept that car in very good shape and sounds fantastic I love your videos keep up the fantastic work! :)
This is very informative. Thank you! I LOVE OLD CARS!!! Thanks for sharing!
Dear Mr. Lindsey,
Thank you for everything. You have inspired me to love cars more. I love Acuras in stick shift. You inspired me with the RSX video. I want to wish you good luck in everything. And thank you for everything!
Push button start in the 40s
Mercury still had it in 1957. Buick had a gas pedal starter through 1960.
Thank you Kyle, for everything you've done so far. I hope one day I will get to meet you in person and shake your hands! Wish you all the best in future work.
thanks very much for such a detailed presentation.
Such a gem and original owners manual wow.
Thank you so much Kyle, I was waiting a long time for you to post this video, and now you posted the video
You're very welcome!
My first car was a '47 Ford tudor flathead V8, bought in 1961 for $165. Years later installed a Chevy engine and running gear and went drag racing. The curved roof/trunk area was an aerodynamic problem above about 100 mph as the rear end of the car would tend to go airborne. The statement about the existence of a vacuum pump to power the vacuum windshield wipers is in error. The wipers received their vacuum from the intake manifold. Otherwise a great video.
This would have been very useful 72 years ago but I’ll still watch
I love my 48 super deluxe i may only be 16 but ive only had mine a few weeks and i already love it and it taught me how to drive three on the tree so its a win win
Cars like this have so much goofyness to them yet they are soooo cool.
Goofyness? I think that would be cars of today...
MrCantGetRight313 Good point, this is just a car. Not a computer/ robot thing.
Like electronic gas pedals and all that other computer crap.
So Goofy ,that Volvo copied it
Thank you for that film. Your car is amazing. It's hard to believe that the car from 40's has all that great features :)
Best regards from Poland !
❤️ Love this car ~ a real beauty ! Stick shift is neat.
love this American classic,to me this should be only driven on a Sunday congrats to the owner of this beautiful machine
What a splendid review, thanks! Really enjoyed the video. Beautiful car.
This was back when cars where made right. They were art
So muich better than modern cars... That classic look!
Kyle your videos are awesome!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!
Engine runs quiet ,smooth and strong! No trouble keeping up to modern traffic. Too bad Ford was slow to adapt front end independent suspension with coil springs. My 1948 Chevrolet had that. However, Ford did invent modern ball joint suspension in the early 50's.
very good presentation really enjoyed it
Very nice car. Thanks for sharing!
That is a simple and beautifully styled car, love american cars built before/after ww II
My FAVORITE color and car; thanks for sharing!
Great video! I really enjoyed it.It's nice to see a younger person interested in these cars and knowledgeable of them.
Your vídeos are amazing!!!!! congratulations!!!
thats an awesome car. nice to see you still do classic old cars too. :)
Kyle your vids are so awesome I had to comment keep up the good work
Love the oldies!
dude that is a beauty. i really love your channel an im a big car guy myself. keep doing what you do u r awesome. really nice car u shud be proud of it
Am I the only one who can appreciate how fast those windows roll down?
My dad got a 1937 Chevy truck dually it used to be a fire truck from new Hampshire but I don't really know much about it but i still think its cool
Kyle fantastic video-absolutely enjoyed your full review of your Deluxe Tudor-wow., well done.
amazing...what a beautyful car...lets go back to the 40s...
Second that motion.
Beautiful car!
What a beautiful 1942 Ford! I would love to have one of them, they're big enough to sleep in. Dad had a Plymouth with push start and transmission.
Lovely video. Great tour of the car which is in great condition and surprisingly well appointed. Perhaps one day you might tell us about some of the jobs you have done to bring your cars up to standard, I assume you do some servicing and maintenance to make sure they are reliable runners.
Keep up the good work, love the detail and research you must do to have all the facts to hand. Cheers
This dude does a good job showing cars!😇😊😎😷
Really COOL Super Deluxe you have there! 👍
Beautiful car Kyle, I'd love to have a car collection as nice as yours someday.
This is a Good post , as 1947 & 48 Fords are a favorite of mine. Thanks.
Prefect car! Respect to all who chase classic cars
Great video man.
