Hi there, the photos of your parents 33 Ford show an Australian built (Geelong, Victoria ) four door sedan which was considerably different in body construction and appearance than the north American model. There was much wood in the body frame and the floor whereas the USA car was virtually all steel construction like a modern car. So you need pics or drawings of an Australian car to base your model on. Plenty of photos in Australian hot rod magazines or find a car locally where you live which is where ? That car has a side mounted spare wheel and a folded down rear luggage rack which is a slight departure from normal which was a rear mounted spare. Regards, Kevin.
