Craig Gillingham Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 It's a Ford Anglia from about 1948? Not a very common car in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john86 Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hi, thank You for the Tip! it really can be this car. But, why is the bumper curved in this on the Picture? 1948's have all straight bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 It appears to be curved to provide clear access for the starting crank. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe these cars were in production for several years prior to 1948 - I believe this one to be somewhat earlier than 1948, thus it would have the curved bumper for starting crank access.

1937hd45 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Funny how this thread was on the first page of the HAMB today, good history of the Anglia Gasser History.

Paul Dobbin Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 It may be a 48 Anglia, but don't judge it by the bumper. Look closley an you'll see it's a 36 ford bumper cut in half and bolted it back together when they shortened it to fit the Anglia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
