29 or 30 Tudor?
Hey guys, went to look at a 29 Tudor today that was restored by a local Model A restorer 20 yrs ago. The owner who is in his 80's says it's a 29 but I found 19in wheels on it and the horn rod on the steering wheel is from a 30/31. What else can I check? What's the difference in radiator size from a 29 and 30?

Belt rail and cowl band. Definately a 30 or 31, not a 28 or 29. Rod

Re: 29 or 30 Tudor?
Gas tank and cowl are the stand out differences between 28/29 and 30/31 on assembled cars.

Re: 29 or 30 Tudor?
It was interesting when I had my '29 coupe & my '30 coupe, side beside, for 3 years!! They're like completely different ANIMALS!! The '30 looked like a FULL SIZE & the '29 looked like a MID-SIZE version. "ALMOST" NO BODY PARTS WILL INTERCHANGE!!!
'29's were the choice for Dry Lakes runs, as they have LESS frontal area & a little better AERODYNAMICS! Bill W.

Re: 29 or 30 Tudor?
The front fenders on a 30/31 are more sloped and less rounded than a 29. If you saw both of them side by side, quite a bit different in many ways....

Re: 29 or 30 Tudor?
Looking at it on my phone, the pic was too dark to see the gas tank seam. So the belt rail shape and cowl band were very obvious. Rod

Re: 29 or 30 Tudor?
Could have been purchased in late 1929 and registered as such.
