1947 Ford Coupe tips

[RCM]

Hi there.
Since this is my first post, first of all I’d like to congratulate the Forum Barn for being such a great resource. I’ve been keeping up with you for a while now without registering because, honestly, I didn’t have a solid reason to. Now I do. I own and daily drive a 1968 Opel Rekord 1.9S that I possibly will trade for a 1947 Ford Coupe. So I’ll be switching continents on to what car manufacturers are concerned and also, by taking this step, I’ll be lacking all the specific knowledge that I have and that others close to me have concerning old and more current European vehicles. What I want to ask from The Barn are suggestions on what to look at on the car. Aside the obvious things I’ll be inspecting, are there any recurrent mechanical issues that might be noticed only by the experienced, or any signs that should keep me away from buying?
Here’s a photo.

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work.
