RS, may I respectfully suggest you do some research on who David G is and his credentials as to knowledge of 1932 Fords. As the owner of a filled roof 1932 Tudor sedan that came from Argentina and bearing not first but very old paint, in the case of mine would be very surprised if undertaken in a Ford plant judging by the quality of the workmanship. |

Re: Largest collection of pre-war Fords- auction details and video
They were not stamped they were welded in after the fact according to some expert who wrote the book I read. I will attempt to locate it. Personal experience after the fact, is not proof of what happened in 1932. I question authority. I was unaware of his prestige. If I had known his background, I would have questioned it, perhaps more diplomatically. Maybe I should not believe everything I read. No insult was meant. I want proof either way and none has been given that has convinced me to alter my understanding as of yet.

Re: Largest collection of pre-war Fords- auction details and video
I have to go back to my V8 times magazines. That is where the article is located. This was part of a discussion in 2008 on the Hamb. I think I gave my 30 year collection of V8 times away. They were taking up too much room and someone wanted to explore them.

Re: Largest collection of pre-war Fords- auction details and video
It’s unfortunate that this post is getting hijacked about talking about one specific model of car. Perhaps a separate thread should be started

Re: Largest collection of pre-war Fords- auction details and video
Rs, With respect, as this is your assertion, please narrow down the "V8 Times" article that you are referring to so that we all may look at it. I do not doubt that you read such an article, but being in the "V8 Times" is not a guarantee, per se, that it is factual. That would depend on it being linked backed to Ford Motor Company documentation. As an example, "right across the river..." in the case of the Dearborn Ford facilities means that it is in Canada and while Ford of Canada was a major exporter, those went to British Commonwealth countries and not to South America; Ford U.S. was the sole supplier of vehicles and vehicle kits for local assembly to South America (except British Guiana)
As for climate differences, the major population centers at that time of Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Porto Alegre, Sao Paulo, and Asuncion all enjoy more moderate climates that Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, and New York. I have the privilege of being the second owner of two '33-'35 open cars from Argentina, both of which have remnants of their original top covering. It was same drab material used on deluxe open cars sold in the U.S., but then they could be random exceptions. Perhaps when you find the article you could start a new thread as Digger has suggested. |

Re: Largest collection of pre-war Fords- auction details and video
Received and moving on as well given that neither of us have access to the old magazines and the subject article at this time
It will be interesting to see the results given the multiples of body types being offered at no reserve.. |

Re: Largest collection of pre-war Fords- auction details and video
Is there something in the water around here lately? We have gotten a few strange new posters.

Re: Largest collection of pre-war Fords- auction details and video
The V8 Times is a great source of information. The Early Ford V8 Club of America did produce a Memory Stick which included all issues of V8 Times from 1965 to 2014. However, I just looked up their Web Site and can't see it listed now? You may want to enquire, as having all these Issues on a Memory Stick doesn't take up any room, and is a great Reference Point.

Re: Largest collection of pre-war Fords- auction details and video
And, they have added 42 more issues to the memory stick up through 2021. It is a great bargain.

Re: Largest collection of pre-war Fords- auction details and video
I notice a lot of RH drive cars. will that affect the price ? I think if the cars were all LH drive . The auction would bring higher prices. We will see. Just a * the 33 phaeton with jumbos was mine. The tires were NOS . very well restored car
