As I browsed through some old magazines I found this article in the march 1956 issue of Car Craft. Quite a cool treatment for a '47 Ford sedan, if I may say so. The Oldsmobile grille is a classic, and the Fiesta hub caps are excellent for any car from that era, so is the '49 Chevy license plate guard.
The choice of tail lights intrigues me, they look amazingly good on this type of car. The text says they are from a 1939 Packard, but I am not completely convinced. From the pictures I have seen of '39 Packards, they used a tail light with a similar shape, but it appears to be smaller in size and with a flatter lens.
...and a question on the HAMB solved it: 1941 Packard
Holy sh** - I remember that issue! I was 11 years old and had been collecting every car mag I could lay my hands on.
Wow!
