Hi all!

I am assisting a family resurrect their late father's '28-'29 Tudor. on closer inspection, it had the remains of the LH early parking brake handle making this car an AR. Further digging revealed the frame number as *A15066* meaning this car is SN# 5,066 and setting a very early production date around December 30th, 1927. The car has been in the family since the early 1960s and is in killer shape, but is in need of a restoration.

They want to put the car back to its correct, original appearance (Empress Blue/Black, straw wheels). Since we know its an early AR with differences from the later '28 production cars, we want a definitive list of all the early AR specific differences so we make sure to get it right. I have "Henry's Lady" on order, but was thinking the Judging standards might be a good selection too..

Is there a book that details all this stuff?

Thanks!
Mr. Model T
