1935 Ford V-8 D.M. Foursome Drophead Coupe

and another - this one I think its nearest to OPs car given the shape of the trunk

And another, these things are getting common. The bodies must have all been made by the same people because they all have the same features e.g. The body line along the centre of the car. I can't see that all these different coach builders just happened to come up with the same design. This one though seems a mix of 1935 and 1934 parts.

This is for sale here in Norway now. One of the better looking non factory designs in my opinion.
Extended wheel base.

At weemark,
Yes there were "several" custom coach builders in Germany and many of them have very similar features/design BUT if you start looking at the different coach builders there are some very different (although subtle) changes by each builder. As For the car you posted, that car is very special in that it was ordered for Edsel Ford, it was originally a 1934 BUT by the time the body arrived here in the US the 35 model was already released to the public SO it was fitted with the 35 model grill to "Stay Current". Even though "they seem to be popping up everywhere" and seem to be "more common" they are not, I can account for 37 total worldwide ranging from 1930 to 1938, so when you run the numbers they are still a very "Rare" find!!!
