Ford Model 69A 1941-49
Ford introduced a new model for 1941, increasing the wheelbase from 112-inches to 114-inches. Ford dropped the small 2.2-litre V8 for the cheaper models and gave them a new 3.7-litre L-head straight six (Model 1GA). The 3.6-litre V8, now tuned to 90bhp, was an option for the Model 11GA. Trim options were Special, Deluxe and Super Deluxe. 1941 bodies no longer had running boards, and the 'streamlined' headlamps gave place to upright lamps integrated high into the new front wings. The new body was offered in 2 and 4-door torpedo sedans, and higher price models were available in coupe, convertible and station wagon. The 1942 Fords only existed for about 5 months as the war intervened, and the restyling was handicapped by government rationing on materials which limited bright work. Essentially the 1946 Fords were just 1942 Fords dressed up, and even made with some stockpiled components from 1942. The Super Deluxe was given a 100bhp version of the 3,622cc Flathead V8 (Model 69A), whereas the 'Deluxe' (Model 6GA) was offered with an L-head six cylinder engine. The cheap and cheerful 'Special' was now dropped. The 1947 6-cylinder (Model 7GA) and V8 (Model 79A) continued with new wide grilles, and there was now a Sportsman model which was a wood panelled convertible. As Ford geared up for the new 1949 model little was changed on the 1948 straight six (Model 87HA) and V8 (Model 89A).
