Early Ford Automobile dimensions.
Where can you find the detailed dimensions for early Ford cars, 33 34 coupes, 32, coupe? Do you think the engineers did a detailed drawing or do you think the car bodies were sculpted and molds made in more of an art form manor?

Re: Early Ford Automobile dimensions.
I'd say that a full size clay model was made and dimensions were taken from that model to produce the stamping dies used in making body parts. The starting point for the model was perhaps a frame or at least very accurate wheelbase and tread measurements. My opinion based on what I've seen other 1930's car manufacturers do. FWIW
