Baby ford

Hi all.
My dad was recently telling me about his all time favourite car. A baby ford he called it. I cant find any info on it.
What model car is a baby ford? Are there any left in the country? Thanks.

How old is he? A Ford Prefect looks like a baby!

He is 71. That could be it Mike, thanks.
I asked him if he knew the proper name and he said he couldnt remember but that he and his brothers always called them baby fords.

The Model Y was known as the Baby Ford alright. It got the nickname as it was a good deal smaller than the US models of the time, and the Y was designed/marketed at the european market.

Well thanks everyone. I showed Dad the pictures and well, at least now I know that I cant afford to get him one. It was the Model Y that he called the baby ford.

Thanks for the help lads.

Go raibh maith agaibh.

Don't give up yet, you can buy them for far less than €10k if you look around.
