Mystery car is a 1938 Ford Deluxe Fordor Sedan |
Re: Car id I'm not able to say, but I will point out what I see. Rear door is suicide, windshield is 2 piece, hood ornament is large, the side of the hood may be ventilated, side trim strip is fluted and thick, and yes the skirt has a positive securement

Re: Car id Mercman got it right. No doubt about it. Why is he so damn quick with his answers?

1939 Lincoln Zephyr Sedan. Notice that the Rain Gutter over the Doors on the Lincoln Zephyrs does not extend over the rear Side Window like it does on the Ford. The 1938 and 1939 Lincoln Zephyrs share the same Bodies. |
Re: Car id The skirts on the mystery car do appear like Ford skirts, that used a bright hex head bolt on the crest of the skirt to operate a locking mechanism.

Re: Car id Hi Lawrie; The side trim on the first photo looks wider with less arch on the rear end than the other photos, Craig.

Yes, it does, so much so that at first I thought it might be a Sloper, but those were Tudors. I believe it is merely a photographic distortion, as the car is definitely a 1938 Ford Fordor Deluxe. Also, I don't think NZ would have had any Slopers from Austrailia. |

I immediately thought Zephyr, but the shape of that fender skirt ended that. Then I thought 'SLOPER' going by first, distorted glimpse of the curve in that rain gutter. Gotta be a '38 Ford C'dan. Coop . |

Re: Car id Quote:
NZ imported their Fords from Canada in a semi-assembled state. Some dissimilarities between U.S. Fords and Canadian Fords existed, but I haven’t heard of differences in side trim for 1938. |
Re: Car id I'm surprised that no one noticed that a Zephyr doesn't have a running board to sit on :)

Re: Car id I have to ask, The (similar one that mercman posted) has right side gas filler but appears to be lhd? Just curious. Thanks Steve
