Agreed!! I also am looking for a glass bowl fuel filter with the durex stamp on it as I guess that is the correct one for a 47.

Do you happen to know where I can get a complete original Durex fuel filter assembly ? And do you know if the chrome looking square plates below the taillights are suppose to be painted with black stripes or what color if at all. Thanks for any info.

The verticle "stripes" in the decoration below the tail lights are body color.

Its okay, I thought the lower taillight medallions were all black too, but that's because I've got a black car! I came across this beautiful '47 at this year's Middle West Meet and noticed they were body color. That makes sense and looks sharp too! Thanks for the great info as always Gene!

What colors of green two tone is that Daryl I'm not sure, I chatted with the owner a little bit but I didn't get to ask about the paint. Maybe a little brighter than OEM? I believed there was a two-tone dark / light green offering that year but it may not have been as bright. Someone else can correct me if they have the old Duco paint chips.

The top color is close to correct. That would be 1947 Lullwater Green. The bottom color is too bright and the correct bottom color would have been 1947 Lakeside green. That was a softer very metallic color.
The were some early 1947's painted 1946 Volunteer green upper and Seafoam lower. The color is closer to Seafoam green but too bright for that also.
The owner is a Wisconsin Region member and he is aware the colors are "off". I knew this car when it was owned by the previous owner who repainted it these colors. The original was the 1947 Lullwater green and Lakeside green and was is good condition as it was a low milage well preserved car.
The car looks as good in person as it does in the picture.

I am really bad at learning how to do electronic stuff like posting pictures and etc. If I can get someone {like a 10yr old to do it for me I will. I would rather put my efforts into learning the details about 40-48 Chevy's.

I will take you up on that soon if I do not get someone over here. I may have to bribe one friend with beer and he will come.
