Look in the 28-48 green parts book, in the back where all the models are shown, page 770 and the 1947 cars show model 77-A and 77-B as a 5 window coupe. That said, I have a 1942 salesmans reference manual and they describe a "Super Deluxe Ford v-8 coupe" and a "Super Deluxe Ford V-8 Sedan-Coupe". No mention of a 5w coupe. An interesting thing in this manual the seating width in a "coupe" is 56.25 inches and the "Sedan-Coupe" is 55.75 inches?? Go figure!!
