Default Re: 1933 Ford Deluxe V8 Phaeton in France



In an effort to save money, Ford Australia decided to use modified 1932 Ford Sedan bodies for their 1933 and 1934 Ford Sedans.
Check out this Australian 1934 Ford Sedan with a 1932 Ford rear Door fitted.
You will notice that all mouldings line up, the only exception being the cut-out for the back wheel, on account of the longer wheelbase.
Check out the wide moulding that only appeared on Australian 1933 and 1934 Ford Sedans.
The Australian 1933 and 1934 Ford Coupes, Coupe Utes, Roadsters and Phaetons all had narrow mouldings, like the USA models got.
That means that the while the front doors will interchange between the Sedans and Coupes, the mouldings are different between these two closed car bodies.
If your restoration project is missing a front door, there are a total of 4 front doors to chose from.
You had better know which is the correct one for your car.
