THE ENFOMAN'S SITE
Welcome to the ENFOMAN site.  This site reflects the images and the preservation of English Fords, mainly featuring my 1949 PREFECT
1949 english ford PREFECT
this is one of my best pictures of my prefect Again, another shot of the car from the left rear, the venue for these shots are located in Troy New York at the Emma Willard school, backdrop scene from the movie"The scent of a woman" with Al Pacino.
the front end of the PREFECT model was changed in 1949 with a new grill style and headlights in the wings
Taken to many car shows throughout the greater Capital district of New York State, many people stop by and admire the cute l'il import from Britain.  One of only three known registered '49 Prefects in the country, the most asked question is, "where do you get parts for this car?'
Often, when shown next to other high powered sleds and hot rods, the 1172 cc engine seems out of place.  average cuising speed  is about 45 MPH and top end is about 65 MPH almost 30 horse power pushing the rear 16 inch wheels stopped by mechanical brakes.
this job was my first try at reuphostering
the basic stampings of the fords of pre war continued into the 60's with the low priced POPULAR
One of the major parts of my restoration was the reuphostering of the front and rear seats that i have done myself in the summer of 2004.
Here you see me and my PREFECT posing in front of the World War II bomber 'Sentimental Journey' which helped liberate Britain from the ravages of Germany.
this car was an import to the U.S. and has the steering wheel on the left hand side  of the car
What about air conditioning? just crank open the windshield!
With a six volt positve ground ignition system, a 8.4 gallon fuel tank, thermo-syphon cooling system, an over all length of 156 inches, width of 57 inches,and a height of 63 1/2 inches, the stlyish lines of the car fit well with the times of yesteryear and gave it the popular nickname of "upright".
Whether in the country, in front of a large granite building or in front of a brownstone as above, the little upright seems as though it never left it's rightfull place on the street.
