I have two different Ford production books, neither one lists a model 72 G. However there is a 72C which is a two door business coupe V8. Is it possible you have a C instead of a G Curt

Thank you!! This is a great. I like this site. The Car has two doors. In the trunk of the car are two Ford Manual, but there is still no clue as to the model he owns. Will upload as soon as I get a picture.

Hello Ray,i went to the car code section and looked up a '53 Ford....(Close as i could get..)Body#72 denotes Either a Mainline Business Coupe OR A Customline Club Coupe(a.k.a.Two Door Sedans).Let us know what body style the car is.I hope this helps.

Hi, it could either be a Monarch or Meteor.Does it look like a '53 or '54 U.S. built Ford or Mercury??.BTW-'54 Canaidian Fords were equipped with Flathead V-8s;That could be the reason parts are hard to get.Send a pic-that would help.And Welcome!!

That looks like a Canadian VIN. I had a 34 Ford from Canada that had a VIN that was C18H-4583. Those letters at the beginning is what makes me think it is from up North. Also, they had flatheads in 54s.

Hello! My cousin just bought a 1954 something. There are no markings any where to tell us what model. He is unable to by parts not knowing what model Ford. The VIN is U4BG115199. The Body Number is 72G Trim A. Normal searches require 17 digits. As you know early cars did not have that many digits. We would appreciate any help you can give us at this point.
