Re: 46-47-48 Ford Elephant Ears
If you are asking what years for bumper extensions, 40 Fords had them also.

Re: 46-47-48 Ford Elephant Ears
No models "came with" them. They were an option just like heaters, radios, side view mirrors, spotlights, road lamps, backup lamps, engine compartment lights, license plate frames, windshield washers, locking gas caps, etc.

Would you happen to have a list of all the "options" that were available for the 48? |

If you'd like more details about any of them say so and I'll post picture and description from the catalog. P.S. The catalogue is in this book available here: http://www.amazon.com/Ford-Closing-Y.../dp/0911160353

Re: 46-47-48 Ford Elephant Ears
There was also a turn signal kit and a jeweled exhaust deflector. ( finding that deflector is next to impossible ).

Re: 46-47-48 Ford Elephant Ears
That jeweled deflector from MACs is a poor excuse for the real one.

Re: 46-47-48 Ford Elephant Ears
My understanding is that those accessories listed in the catalogue were contemporary with the 46-48's and available during those model years. The accessories listed in the Green Bible (turn signals, magnetic drain plug, hydraulic jack, fender shield/skirts, and exhuast delector) that were not in the accessories catalogue were made later (by the time that book was published in November 1950) to retrofit the 46-48.

Re: 46-47-48 Ford Elephant Ears
Got a picture of a "real one" you could show us? I have the one from Mac's and thought it was pretty nice.

Re: 46-47-48 Ford Elephant Ears
In addition to the accessories made by Ford were a lot of useful aftermarket accessories made by others before and during the 46-48 model years such as:
Traffic Light Finders/Viewers: Curb feelers: Fender Guides: Turn signals (these are what I use) Registration Holder: Fulton Exterior Sun Visor
