Guest 1965riv Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hello,This is my first post in this forum. I was offered a 1946 Super convertible. The car needs a total restoration, has all the trim removed, rear fenders, interior, gauges... The engine has been rebuild, also the brakes. How can I tell if it s a 46 or 47 model? The identification tag is not on the car.What are the differences between the 2 years? Is the body trim the same? (moldings)Thanks in advance!

Guest Earl Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 The grille is different between '46 and 7. But the ID tag on the cowl will tell you for sure what you are looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 ...The identification tag is not on the car...Either a 46 or 47 convertible would be awesome, but which ID tag is missing? The Vin ID or the cowl tag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWS Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) 46 grillNotice the trim piece around the front medallion, on the 47 it goes up and around. The 46 does not have the extra trim piece. IMHO it looks better on the 46 Edited August 9, 2010 by WWS (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1965riv Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Thank you for your replies.The seller just found the cowl tag. The car is a 46 model, and 56C ( I think it means it is a convertible).Is there any site where I can decode the paint codes and interior trim?Thank you!
