You could contact the '32 Ford advisor for the Early Ford V8 Club. His name and contact information is listed in the clubs magazine, the V8 Times and may also be listed on their website.
 
Are you reading "The 1932 Ford Book" from the Early Ford V8 Club and still not finding what you want to know? What are the certain parts? What is the serial number (use XXX for the last digits) of your car (very early ones were different)?

Barry,

I highly reccomend the 1932 book as well. there are illustrations of all the correct paint and interior combinations including pinstriping. Where in Maryland are you? I'm in Bethesda.
 
Barry's question was basically which of the raised mouldings on the body and hood were painted the contrasting color in a two-color 1932 Ford paint scheme and the answer is all of them on North American-produced passenger car bodies. Additionally, the rain gutters were also painted in the contrasting color on the Fordor and Tudor sedans and Victoria as an extension of the vertical moulding behind the quarter window.

This information was not well covered in the thirty-year-old "Restorations Standards", but is in the recent two-volume "The 1932 Ford Book".
 
jim,

found a painter but have not taken the car to him yet. I'm still stripping the paint off the car. I'll keep you posted.
