Ford Model 7Y
Another period Ford photo from Les' extensive photo collection, this time of a late 1930s sidevalve Ford. Judging by the non-beaded edge to the wings, I *think* this is a 1939/39 7Y that was fitted with the 8hp version of Ford's sidevalve motor. I'm happy to be set right on this though!

The 933cc "Eight" was built between Aug 1937 and October 1939, and replaced the Model Y in Ford's small car range of the day. Saloons were available as either the basic version, or the "de luxe", the latter 7Ys benefiting from luxurious appointments such as a chrome trim to the bonnet side vents, and a cover for the spare wheel, as on the car in the photograph above.
