Crank out wind vents is an indicator it is a super deluxe.
Of course super deluxe accessary might have been added over the years. Bruce

Don't know if 6 cylinder has an emblem like this on the hood. If so, it could be a clue.
Also, Ford lists the following features for a Super Deluxe that are not on a Deluxe: Light in glove compartment Horn ring in two-spoke steering wheel Extra quality upholstery materials Two ash trays on the instrument panel Ash tray in rear compartment of sedans Robe cord on Fordor Sedan Assist loops in sedans Crank-type ventilators on front door windows Pivoting rear quarter windows in Fordor Sedans Arm rests on both front doors Center license plate guard on front bumper Chassis springs fitted with fabric-lined metal covers Clock in right side of instrument panel But, I have the hood emblem but missing a few of the above. Go figure.

My '48 Super D tudor, bought new by my Father, lacks the cranks on vents and the license guard...I think the latter is just something they forgot to erase from the book after the '46 type trim ended. The rear compartment ashtray is actually 2 of them. I think the trunk light was also standard on Super deluxe, and its wiring is part of main harness, not an add on. I believe the 6 would have the same emblem you show with 6 in place of 8, and isn't there a "Super Deluxe" or two on the dash?

Some quick things. If the original hood ornament is there it will either say "Deluxe 6" for a Deluxe or "Super Deluxe 6" for a Super Deluxe. Deluxe had only one ashtray built in the dash where the Super Deluxe had two. Super Deluxe had a horn ring where the Deluxe just has the center "Button" with no horn ring.47-48(except early 47 which looks like a 46) do not have a vent window crank in either model.

Super Deluxe, unless someone changed a lot of pieces.

Should it have had holes in the lf fender front for the super deluxe? There is no holes but the fender could have been replaced at some time. Thanks everyone!

I think the missing holes you refer to are 1946.
