Found this in a stack of Dutch pictures
Can someone help me find out who build these.
Picture states it was taken in 1932.
Thanks

Wasn't some of the " Taxi" bodies changed to Sedan because the Taxi was not selling ? Seem to remember reading somthing about this in the past.

Doesn't it appear that the car pictured has a "stretched" chassis while the Taxi was on a standard chassis. Very cool car! Gar Williams

This car appears to be a custom job stretched & bodied in The Netherlands.
Shutter & van Bakel of Amsterdam did some work on Ford chassis. I have a photo of one of their convertibles on a '30 chassis [ similar to 400A] & it has the same painted cowl band as on your Dutch custom sedan.

Black headlamp buckets, visor seems lower, what a rear door it's wider than the front door. A monster of a 4 door.

Rear doors are not "suicide".
