Gary, I know the owner of the 32 5window coupe your talking about, and he still has the car. This coupe was a well known street racer in the 60's and early 70's, and as far as i know it never lost a race.....Ed

Next time you see Louie tell him Hi from Gary & Shirley. I have seen him race in Valley Ford & he only raced for money & as far as I know always went home with the money. I knew his parents & grandparents.
 
I saw the pictures... and, I saved them all! Lots of good info there! My brother tore his Tudor apart in '57 and I've been trying to learn as much as possible how everything was done.
 
Hey Pete , if you ever need any specific pics , please let me know . I would be happy to take pics of what ever you need .
Mike
 
Pete, if you haven't seen it there is a guy named Dean on the AACA forum in the restorations whow did a frame of on a Tudor. Lots of good reference pictures there.

I think that you are having the same problem that I have. I now have to log in every time I get on the FB. I can read the posts, but not pictures unless I log in? I do not know what the problem is.
 
Took a few more . I wish I knew what all the writing meant . It would be good info :)

Judging from this latest group of photos, the access hole in the #1 floorboard has been enlarged from side to side. Also the routing of the vacuum line for the windshield wiper motor has been tampered with.

The method of retaining the front edge of the transmission floor plate, the March 4th date stamped on the back of the front belt finish panel (dash), and the type of fasteners used to retain the firewall pad suggest that this is a fairly early '32. The routing and the clip on the dome lamp wire conduit are 100% original.
 
That 32 is amazing, there is nothing close to that here on the right coast. I see by the body tag it is a Murray body. And it's the deluxe model to boot.
 
Is that stop for the floorboard cover original? I knew about the cover (the round one that swivels). But noot the metal stop I see.
 
Yes, that's correct for an early transmission floorboard cover that has no screw holes in its forward edge.
 
They're not stops, but rather they turn to the side and when in the vertical position as shown in the photo, they retain the early version of the transmission floor cover plate which had no screw holes on that portion of the plate against the #1 floorboard. Normally, it would be unusual to encounter these retainers and the swiveling cover on the same #1 floorboard given that the early transmission plates do not have the notched recess on their front edge to capture the bottom of the swiveling cover. In this particular case, both the two transmission plate retainers and the swiveling cover appear to be riveted to the floorboard, which strongly suggests this floorboard is as-built except for the enlarged hole for grease cup access.
 
So I v
Can put on the round cover with out the other piece. I know it isn't technically correct for my car but I have a hard time just leaving the hole in the floor.
 
Super fine sedan Mike, the interior details are so neat. Would a rear foot rail be an option? Seems to be room to provide one.

You don't find them in this condition often, you have a gem.
