I believe 33 and very early 34 in the front and moved back for most of 34.

The center inside door handle was introduced in March, 1934 with the new Victoria body. Later that month it was adopted on all deluxe closed passenger cars and the cabriolet. Eventually adopted on standard closed cars as well when inventory of earlier doors was down to service requirements.


That loop in the second photo is a post-production addition.

The 34 Fordor Standard #923xxx I once owned had the middle door handle. Quite possibly DavidG would know the approximate month of manufacture.

Thanks, I also notice different color interiors maybe just the lighting additionally I noticed that there are some differences on the dash with what appears to be a tachometer where on the passenger side and on others in the center where there is an ashtray.
Is there any easy way to tell a Base from a deluxe model many people have added the tail light dual horns and cowl lights

Those are radio dial heads, late '33 and early '34 originally in place of glove box and mid -year and late '34 in place of ash tray. No tachometer was offered.
