How cool im looking for a new project that needs some attention

I think a limousine is right...and seems to have extra leaf springs in the front?

 

[deuce lover]

The front suspension has evidently been altered.

Sheldon, below is a Rheinland Limousine, looks close?

 

[Deuce-Addict]

Some other Rheinland early Fords...

Why not restore the limos as it is more rare ?

 

[ronn]

I agree Nick.


Looks like an airport car or train station car..........

The suicide doors, sheet metal formation around door windows, and door hinge placement suggest it is like that in Sheldon's photo.

Boy, would love to see that 100% restored to original - would have to be a really rare car.

Chrome windshield frame too. Very neat. Had a pu frame with a factory extension in it [Martin-Siebert?] Newc

 

[Entlebucher]

nice project!

 

[nickthebandit]

Didn't anyone else note the skirted front fenders ?

 

[DavidG]

The fenders, head lamps, head lamp bar, bumpers, and shape of the windshield frame are all characteristic of the 1933-34 Ford of Britain Model 14, something of a continuation of the '32 model offered alongside the familiar Model 40s. (At that time, like nearly all of the European Ford companies, Ford Spain was a subsidiary of Ford Britain.)

Pete,

Thanks for enlarging the photos.

They permit the viewer to note that both the examples are equipped with a Europe-only saloon feature of a sliding sun roof.

You're welcome, David...
