Mine has a brass plate with simulated rivets on each end between the axel and rear frame. Sorry, no pics.

I can't see any sign of glue there.But,that model went through extremes of heat and cold for a long time.It was in an addition to a house that was not lived in for a while.It went through winters and summers of sub-zero to 100 degree heat.It could have fallen off.I went to tear the addition off with a backhoe and ripped one wall off.I saw the back of a wood shelving unit with what looked like a model car on the top.I went in to grab it and found there was a bunch of them.An estate cleanout crew had been there,and when those guys are done there is usually NOTHING left worth over a nickel.I know this particular crew,and after they were in there I wouldn't even bother looking inside after they were there.Somehow they missed the whole cabinet.

I just posted the picture so you could see that plastic models of Tudor sedans do exist. I didn’t expect to sell them. But if someone walks in my shop waving a handful of bills and wants them, sure.

I have picked up some of the Entex and Minicraft kits off eBay. I haven't had a chance to assemble them yet, but they seem pretty nice. Since they are a larger scale they have a lot more detail compared to the smaller scales. It is fun to go through the parts sprue and identify the various little detail pieces. The kits also come with an extra fender, so you can decide if you want a side or rear mount spare.

There is a Tudor, Pickup, Roadster and a Sedan Delivery; as well as a hot rod version of the Pickup and Tudor. I just wish they had a Fordor but no such luck. I usually pick them up for about $20-$30. The Tudor's don't seem to show up as often and when they do, they usually go for a bit higher price.

I have the same model that is pictured on the left. It is Minicraft p/n 11211.

With a Google search I found this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1931-model-...QAAOSwaSZaEwEy

http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/mmi/mmi11211.htm

PS I have a $25. price tag on mine. One of these cold days I maybe tempted to break the seal and sniff some model glue...
