Charlie,

Very close on the year. It's a model 59C making it a 1945. Not rare, just not common. 42 to 47 were identical in every way because of the war.

Those old Fords had the sweetest engine. I'd love to restore an old Ford like that. They dress up so nice! This one is a real beauty. There are so many sitting in fields and around barns around the western US that appear restorable it almost seems a crime

Long story, but.. a friend who was a National Judge for old flathead Fords, bought a 40 Woodie which had been totally painted green - metal, wood- everything. When he stripped off the green paint, it was apparent that the car was a "Birdseye car - all the maple frames were birdseye maple - cars built for Mr Ford or highly regarded plant managers. He restored the car to National standards, it won all the prizes, he sold it, and and ultimately it sold for something in the range of $380K - more than any woodie ever.
