my 41 deluxe coupe actually has a 3rd hole to locate a plate closer or further from the grille depending on the size of the plate

Yes, I have a suggestion... place this in the "parts wanted" section to increase the chances of someone seeing it.

Rick, I see this is a very old post, but I am in search of a pair of bumpers and brackets for my newly acquired 1941 Ford Super Deluxe convertible... Any suggestions (11 years later)? LOL Thanks, Lou Formby

Hi Number29rick, Did you ever find the front license bracket that you needed? I have one and also a period photo of a '41 Ford Deluxe coupe. It also has the dealer installed fender trim like yours. The Deluxe had black painted fender grilles, and no stainless trim around the windshield. I restored and drove a '41 Opera Coupe for 32 years, and still love the '41's. Regards, Robert E.

I suspect that the 40 license bracket may fit.

I looked at the passender side outer front bumper iron. Yes indeed, there are two holes that run parallel to the ground on the curved surface of the iron. Now that I see that I have the mounting holes I will look for a clean bracket and put that restored 1941 Cal Plate on the front. Pomona Swap meet here I come.

The right outer bumper iron would be pre-drilled for the bracket.The holes for the bracket would run parallel to the upper and lower edges of the bracket. If you know someone with a 40 ford you will get an idea of the mounting holes. According to the V-8 Club's 41-48 Ford book, Ford discontinued mounting a front license bracket in March 1946. If you have the big green book (Ford parts book) there is a drawing of the 41 standard bumper, irons and license bracket on page 689.

Wouldn't this spring steel bracket have come from the factory with the holes pre drilled? If not, was it the dealer that drilled the holes to accomodate those states that required a front plate? Where would those holes be? Do the holes run perpendicular or parallel to the lenghth of the car? Do you have a closeup picture of this? Inquiring minds wanna know. Thanks for your time. Rick

Make sure you bumper iron has the holes drilled in it for the bracket. Trying to drill holes in spring steel bumper iron can be a real challenge.
