What model ford is this.

[Shortdog]

Ok you experts. What model of ford is this? It is in Ireland, so it may have been made there. It has the flat head 4 cylinder and the alternator is on top. Sharp looking.

Thanks for the info.

Yes it's a model Y. It's between half and three quarters of a full sized Ford. Engine would probably have enough power to run a good sized pocket watch.

That Alternator is actually a Generator.

Where's the water pump?



EDIT NOTE: Found the answer: "no water pump relying on thermo-syphon circulation"

The Model Y makes a SWEET Hot Rod. Go ahead & YELL at me if you wish, YELLS don't make SCARS.

And I believe it a a 1932, first of its race. After '32 they got a bumper with a center dip like '33-4 Fords. Histories seem to indicate that this series influenced the development of the '33 American Fords, not the other way around.

I saw one of those at the British Invasion in Stowe VT a few years ago. That is a weekend British Car Show and event. The model Y was displayed by a guy who had bought it in Britain many years ago, and had is shipped here when he returned. I would LOVE to have one of those. (he would not sell, naturally)

Yep, you are right on that. I knew the difference but my computer didn't so it type in Alternator.
