Driver access and egress aren't the best with the '32 five window coupes, sport coupes, and Fordors, but lots better than that of the pickups, station wagons, and other commercial vehicles (except the sedan delivery) and big trucks.

As soon as our Cabriolet is finished I will let you drive it and "See" what real "short comings" are all about. You will quickly see the Germans had absolutely "NO" concern for what was behind them. I mean NONE!!!! No real rear view mirror, NO real drivers outside mirror, its a "real" bear!!!! Not to mention entering and egress for both front and rear passengers is NO walk in the park either!!!
