The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 1932 Ford Frame

A first for me and like 51 MERC-CT, the question as to what the frame looks like beneath that panel immediately comes to mind. Given that it is a deluxe coupe, the body is of North American origin as none were manufactured elsewhere. There are some surviving very early '32 frames that are completely flat along the side rails, but where they have shown up has been on commercial vehicles and no covering formed panels were in place.

Trevor, It would be informative if you could provide the body number, if it survived, from the tag on the #1 steel floor cross sill and the engine number stamped on the frame (just the number of digits will do in the case of the engine number).
