Default Original '32 Ford interior pictures

Where can I be directed to view pictures of the original interiors of '32 fords?
Where there any 'factory' pictures showing what was offered in each body style?
Say,,,, the standard roadster was offered in 'this' style, and 'this' material and pattern. The deluxe roadster, had 'this', 'this', and 'this' over here, and had 'this' (better) material, and better pattern. For the "well-to-do" buyer, 'this' (piece of interior) was an option.

The above is pictures of what I am looking for. Thanks

Pretty much all of what you are seeking is contained in the V8 Club's The 1932 Ford Book, A Production Chronicle and Restoration Guide, Chapters 14 and 15. It is available through the Club's website and on Amazon.com.

The Early Ford V-8 Club's 1932 book(a two volume set) will answer all your questions when restoring a '32. It's the bible on '32s. Go to ;www.earlyfordv8.org. to purchase it.

I am often amazed at some of the questions asked on this website, knowing that the information is available, in great detail, in the books offered by the V-8 Club. Why anyone that owns a V-8 Ford, would not own or want a book with all the info they need for their particular vehicle is beyond me. I plan to eventually purchase the entire set offered. They make great reading and offer a ton of information.

I agree woodiewagon46 and I always wonder why people who own 32-53 Fords don't join the Early Ford V-8 Club. For $35/year they get 6 issues of the V-8 Times magazine and have access to more information yet. The magazine is worth the price of admission.

Hi; As an officer in a small RG, I see prospective new members baulk at the National dues and RG dues so, frequently and we have to steer them to the 'No Magazine option'. Often their logic is based in another time .. like the '50s prices for Fords. Newc

Less than $6 a magazine scares them off? Wow. Maybe they're thinking in terms of 25 cents per gallon of gasoline.

And houses that cost $12,500 like the one I bought in 1964. I wonder if they are so tight they screw their shoes on in the morning.

I understand tight budgets, but if they are into the old cars, the cost is dirt cheap for the info gained.

I think the first responses to the original question answered what he needed to know. He doesn't need to join any club to find these books. Slagging off individuals for their choice in not joining any particular club that takes your fancy isn't very nice!

I, myself opt not to join such an organisation, for amongst other reasons, this exact reason, all too often exhibited by said club members, who seem to think they're exclusive.... We're all experiencing the flathead magic in our own ways.

Isn't it nice to come to this site and get free information from V-8 Club members. Since when did we say we are exclusive? The V-8 Club and the V-8 Times magazine are available to anyone. If we were exclusive we would not bother giving out free information to people who are not members such as yourself. We simply recommended the V-8 Times as another source of information. It's your choice to take the recommendation on the magazine or not.

If you get down on the West coast of Florida I have what
I believe the best 32's. 32 4 cylinder wagon, and 32 cabriolet.
The cabriolet is from "Mr.32" Bill Seacrest in Oklahoma. This
was his favorite 32 and one of the last to sell. Bill sent his
mechanic Rodger. Sturnum to all the big auto flea markets and
Ford dealers back in the 50's to buy any 32 parts. At one
time he had 65 NOS front fenders. He had bodies, engines,
tranny's, rears, front axle assemblies and almost any 32
part. On this last car the one I have it was a perfect body
and all the mechanicals were NOS even the tires which
are still on it and the little nibs are still there. I doubt there
is 100 miles on this car. I am going to sell these cars plus
almost all I own. At 87 it's time to get rid of them. G.M.
