Can we count the "dispatch" boxes in the Model A trucks. If not it is the '32 3 window coupe.

Ok! Now I can 'seem knowledgable' when advising him

.
Actually, I've told him of you guys and this site. He gets this wide eyed look and realizes the value of such source of experience/knowledge! He's a good guy and owned/was driving the old fords..before most here were born! He knows what a computer is and believes that we (USA) landed on moon

. He even had a cell phone before me, as I just got one of those...now where did I put those darn instructions

I am aware that if its not made within spitting distance of the river Rouge, it aint really a Ford

, but this is the dash of my 1932 Tudor, made in the county of Essex, merrie England!

Ford was international from the start, so its a dinkum Ford.
You are right, the British Tudor [ Dagenham, Briggs Bodies] does have twin glove boxes but maybe just on the B4 model.Glove boxes, leather upholstery & sometimes sunshine roofs were often seen even on cheap British cars. We need DavidG to chime in on this as he wrote the book on '32's.

On the 12th May 1932 Ford - Britain announced the Model B Ford so the 1932 Ford Deluxe three window Coupe which started production earlier in March 1932 in U.S.A would have had a glove box before the English models, but when did the Lincoln models have their gloveboxes?
