Re: 1935 Coupe help

As ALL (AND all very knowledgeable gentlemen) have posted AND by all "major" indicators....This is a "Standard" 35 Ford Coupe. To answer your question with a question:
WHY would some one want to make a "Deluxe" coupe into a "Standard" coupe AND "IF" they did.....go to the lengths to "hide" most of the "deluxe" features and NOT hide other???
Besides painting the grill and windshield frames they would have had to "fill" the hole in the right front fender for the right horn AND fill the holes for the right rear taillight OR replace both fenders with standards.
Another tell tail sign of a "Standard" Vs "Deluxe" is look at your speedometer. IF the trip meter is a 3 digit instead of a 4 digit.....ALSO a "Standard" feature.
The production "odds" that this is a Standard are also very high with over 2 to 1 5 window coupes produced were Standards - 75,914 to 30,832 produced.
As to the wheel color....Standard coupes painted black had black wheels and a bright apple green pin stripe. Apple green wheels "could have been ordered for an extra fee BUT not a "combo" of both SO "IF" you are seeking "original" as Henry built it, its one or the other.
