SW Coupester
 

While browsing the net I came across what looks like a cut down coupe with a slant cowl. Usually when coupes are cut they don't get a top. Although it looks pretty good it's a shame they didn't just restore the original car.

Interesting. I don't see any window handles.

Looks like a late 31 S/W Cabriolet. Or a mix of a Victoria S/W Cowl and a Roadster rear section.

The back section is definitely a coupe or sport coupe. The panel in front of the rumble lid is a give away, too small for a roadster. Think of the 4 rubber bumpers where the back window rests. I noticed the missing window cranks and the top of the door being rounded off. I guess they eliminated the window so as not to interfere with the windshield post.

The heater manifold is a waste, especially in Wisconsin and the harness oddly runs forward on the right side. It has a horn mounted next to a different junction box. The Whitney horn's probably a dummy.

Looks like they fell a bit short on door panel material for the right side top front. :eek:

The ad states:

"1930 Ford Model A completely restored!"

Way overpriced for a poorly done custom car.

I must be too much of a curmudgeon, but I like the stock 19" wheels more than those 16"ers.

Oval speedometer = All S/W Model A's have a round speedometer.

Yes I'd say your right. I didn't realize there were more pictures. So a modified Coupe Cowl and a Coupe rear body section and mystery doors. A lot of work to create this car.
