The Ford Barn

Incidentally, mostly interested in the roadster (if there is any difference). Looking at a 1931 Deluxe roadster. I count 22 louvers (each side) however my research suggests that there would be 20 on the standard and 25 on the deluxe. This particular car seems to have all the characteristics of the deluxe (shorter windscreen, cowl lamps, etc.) but I am confused by the number of louvers. Also, by counting them on advertised cars (in pictures), I see quite a few that also have 22.

What is the complete story? Are those with 22 aftermarket hoods? Or is my research wrong?

Thank you,

Jim
