Default Re: 1932 Ford Chassis without the Reveal.

If it has the little four than at least the engine was built in Dagenham. If memory serves me right, at that time Ford France was a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company Limited of the UK.

The cowl does not look to be of Ford origin given the lack of a bead on the lower edge.

I like the four-rod rear brakes which reflected the French requirement of the time of separate controls for the hand brake. The photo below is of an early V-8 chassis in a Parisian showroom which also sports the four-rod rear brakes.
