As Bill mentioned, the V series was shortlived and only built for a few years. The actual "V" itself was a wide front standard (non-adjustable front wheels) and the rear tires were 24" which had some adjustment with rim/hub and axle location. Then it also came in a variety of other configurations, the most common being the VC (rowcrop) with a narrow front and 28" adjustable rear wheels. THere were also the VO's (orchard) and VI's (industrials) and so on. Then the VA took over with all of it's configurations (see Bill's post). Funny thing is that although the V's and the VA's look a lot alike, virtually no parts are interchangeable between the two series. Your friend might have a '47 VA (or one of the variants) but he doesn't have a V since they stopped making them 5 years before that. Best and easiest way to tell is by looking at the engine. The V series had a 4 cylinder Continental FLATHEAD engine while the VA series used an OVERHEAD VALVE 4 cylinder engine. In any case, the VA's certainly are not rare unless it is one of the special types. In the V series, probably the VO's and VI's are rare but not the VC's. The widefront V's are a bit hard to find, especially in the US where most were narrow front VC's.
