Saw this yesterday, 1931 Canadian Deluxe Tudor, one of the last into NZ
Has factory twin side mounts, twin tail lamps, cowl lamps [gone]. A very small number came here in early 1932, before the new B4 & V8 arrived mid year.
The Canadian Tudor was a 'deluxed' std. Tudor & did not have the adjustable drivers seat etc of the US Dlx Tudor. This car has the usual Canadian '30 style firewall, but another one I know has the indent one. Canada was adding deluxe items to cars in '31 to sell, some even came from the factory with spare tyre metal covers, quail, carpets etc ; I believe this may be one of them & worth saving.
Body is sad but repairable, the fenders are not too bad. Upshot is the owner is using the chassis & running gear for another A & is selling off the remainder.
I thought barners would be interested to see something unusual here in NZ, & I just wish it could be saved.
Cheers - Tom in NZ.
