Ford Duval with Ford F472 V8 engine 1947 ?
To go back in two year steps was not the best idea. But you are very close now. ;D
The Ford engine ~~however was a different one~~ is correctly guessed. I have it as Ford Vedette (Simca, Matford „Aquilon“) 2L engine which was apparently re-named to F-472 later.
This racing engine however was modified with hemispherical combustion chambers.

It's a car which evolved into this, which I believe was its final iteration.

Post by: tobytwirl on November 19, 2019, 07:40:07 AM: It's the Duval-Ford V8. It was originally a 1948 Monopole-Simca into which Duval squeezed a Ford V8 Vedette engine. It should have been a sidevalve engine but when put up for sale it appeared to have "hemispherique"- presumably heads.
Title: Re: SAC#1318
Post by: SACO on November 21, 2019, 05:08:28 AM: Yes ! it's the Monopole Simca DS002 of 1948 with body modified by Duval who added a Ford engine V8. 3,9l in 1951 !
1 point for tobytwirl ! :)
