Default what model is this

Can anyone verify what this car is? I thought it was a phaeton but the windshield doesn't look like it folds down and there is a vacuum wiper.
The header looks wrong for a Phaeton.

John. Hershey was full of Model A headlights this year and everything else Model A. Ebay should be swamped with them soon and they should be at a good price !

That was totally strange to me, and I still haven't figured out what they were thinking?

Too bad they messed up a good Tudor.

As I long time lurker here, let me say that the AFU model is very common, I have one for sure. Now I feel better, out of the closet as it were.
