You should see the photoos I have of her and that car. Her headlights are bigger that that 30 tudor has.

Look closely at the front of the fender and on early 30 fenders, the bead that runs along the side of the fender extends across the front. Later fenders have the bead stop just at the curve around to the front.

I like that, Bob.

It may not make the car run better, but it will probably make your motor hum!

I have several of this woman, but only a few with clothes on. note the early 30 eyebrow fenders.

That is a model A 4 speed on the engine, and a Ford V8 4 speed behind that. With both in first gear, you could walk faster than the machine will go. I have had several of them, and they are fun.

My old buddy that used to stop at the shop every day has died, so I no longer have anybody at the ready to help. Someone was supposed to come by thursday eve, but failed to show up.

I have read that it is not important. Perhaps the short shoe was to save money.
