Need 47 Ford data

Can anyone tell me if the width of the 1947 Ford Tudor sedan was increased since the 1939 model? 

I'm trying to make a 47 version in HO using a Jordan 39, but it looks pretty skinny, and I can't really figure out if its the kit, my eyes, or a Ford design change that's causing the thing to look wrong. 

Thanks

Dave,    I think theres quite a width difference from the 1939 to the 1947 and I think the 47 could be longer to ???

Thanks Dave.   That's the sort of info I need, where did you find it?   My car books are heavy on pictures but light on  data.
