The Ford Pilots in were developed from the 1936 to 1939 model 62 Ford which had the V8 - 60 22hp engine, and in 1947 this design was updated, rubber body insulators, bakelite interior parts, diecast grille, and a facelift, and fitted with a 2.5 litre side valve V8. the Pilots were made until 1951 unchanged. The 2.5 litre side valve engine was dropped at the finish for the OHV six which saw service in the Zephyr in later years. Pilots share some 1936 U.S. Ford parts including the windscreen frame, and door glass.
