I can show some original detail on my 1934 Phaeton, if anyone is interested. And also on my 1935 Cabriolet, come to think of it. My Cabriolet has the scarce Bedford Cord interior.
One thing, that I bet you find on that '34, is that the fire-wall is different than the body paint. Most restorers finish their firewalls to be as shiney as the body. But, this is wrong ! At the factory, they power polished the body, but not the firewall. If you look at any unrestored original paint car, you will see that this is evident.

I hope that this can help someone out.

I have tried to show the difference between the final top coat body paint finish and the final firewall paint finish on a 1934 FORD.
FORD highly polished the body paint, but just colored the firewall and forgot about it. They did not polish the firewall. Most restored cars are over-restored, as to the firewall.
The next picture shows a 1932 boat-tail Ahooga horn mounted to the engine, just for fun.

Mike I like the picture of the heater vent ,are able to get the measurement of your rear doors ,lower width and across the belt line ,I want to compare it with Australian ,Thanks again ,

 

[FL&WVMIKE]

FlatheadTed .........................
At the belt-line, the door measures right at 29".
At the bottom, the curve starts at about 16" and curves up to about 17". I don't think that the doors are interchangable.
