A fellow in Germany that now has this got it from his friend who found it in Spain.Appears to be a limousine .The chassis is 35 inches longer than a stock '32.It does not have the reveal so sides are flat.Hood and grille shell now fitted to a roadster body and normal chassis.

How cool im looking for a new project that needs some attention

I think a limousine is right...and seems to have extra leaf springs in the front?

deuce lover · 03-31-2023, 10:34 AM

The front suspension has evidently been altered.

Sheldon, below is a Rheinland Limousine, looks close?

Why not restore the limos as it is more rare ?

ronn · 03-31-2023, 11:14 AM

I agree Nick.

Looks like an airport car or train station car..........

Oh my, what big tires you have said little red riding hood

DavidG · 03-31-2023, 04:33 PM

The suicide doors, sheet metal formation around door windows, and door hinge placement suggest it is like that in Sheldon's photo.

Boy, would love to see that 100% restored to original - would have to be a really rare car.

Chrome windshield frame too. Very neat. Had a pu frame with a factory extension in it [Martin-Siebert?] Newc

nice project!

nickthebandit · 04-20-2023, 03:53 AM

Didn't anyone else note the skirted front fenders ?

DavidG · 04-20-2023, 05:57 AM

The fenders, head lamps, head lamp bar, bumpers, and shape of the windshield frame are all characteristic of the 1933-34 Ford of Britain Model 14, something of a continuation of the '32 model offered alongside the familiar Model 40s. (At that time, like nearly all of the European Ford companies, Ford Spain was a subsidiary of Ford Britain.)

Pete,

Thanks for enlarging the photos.

They permit the viewer to note that both the examples are equipped with a Europe-only saloon feature of a sliding sun roof.

You're welcome, David...
