Re: 1932 serial number starts with D5
With two similar frames in close proximity of each other that are out of the norms gives a feeling that there may be a local interrelation of these units. There have been a lot of frames fabricated from American Stamping Corporation rails as well as others. The possibility of private fabrication outside of Ford Motor Co & affiliates is there plus the possibility of state issued identification numbers is also there.
The popularity of the 1932 Fords is such that there are a lot of known clones out there since the originals are all finite in number and harder to source for sale these days. The popularity reflects the asking prices of these cars when they are for sale so they can be an expensive investment. Laws have been relaxed somewhat to allow for cloning as long as the rules are followed for each state affected.
