Colour
Maize Yellow (very pale, near-beige)

A 1947 Ford Sportsman convertible, body-dated July 1947, belonging to the second-series run of which only 2,250 were produced. The Sportsman was a prestige wood-bodied convertible inspired by a personal car built for Henry Ford II, with leather upholstery, power windows, and coachwork-quality wood trim as standard. This example is finished in Maize Yellow with red leather interior and carries the full suite of spring-series updates — revised parking lamps, hood medallion, and improved trunk lid — plus numerous factory options including a Columbia overdrive axle.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
