Default Re: 1932 Ford Vicky

It looks very restorable to me from the limited photos, but I'm no fan of '32 Victorias as I think that the overall proportions are cramped for want of a longer wheelbase chassis mostly devoted to a longer hood. Its sister Victoria, the Lincoln KA version with the same body lines comes off perfectly proportioned with 29" more wheel base.

In addition to the aluminum oil pan and '32-only left side exhaust manifold, it appears to have its original '32-only distributor. The missing garnish molding on the right side could be a real challenge to replace as it is unique to Victorias and B-400s, but a skilled metal smith could likely make one up from the Tudor sedan version. If the quarter window moldings are gone, that would be a far greater challenge. Too bad that there is no photo of the floor in the rear of the body as that would be the clincher in determining its restoration potential.
