The emblem pictured was introduced for 1952 and carried forward to other years. The car pictured without ornamentation could be a 52, 53 or 54.

And it appears to be sitting on something other than its original chassis judging from the odd position of the right front wheel.

That's a '53 not '43!

I did some preliminary checking for you. First of all, the Club has an excellent, 2 volume book on the 1952-1953 Ford. Check it out in the Online Store link. Dennis Carpenter, Amazon, and e-bay all have 1953 Ford parts, including the hood and deck lid emblems, and windshield wiper arms and replacement blades. Check 'em out.

Good Morning, Alison--- Based on your photo, the green Ford appears to be a 1953. Don't get discouraged - there's LOTS of stuff available, along with plenty of expert advice from Club members to help you with the restoration of this model. Good luck. Tom

The emblem appears to be from a later year Ford. To the best of my knowledge the fordor sedans built in 1943 were military staff cars and were essentially 1942 models and were painted all over olive drab and would not have had that emblem.
