I found this photo claiming to be 1928 special coupe. It looks like a 28/29 Model A with my limited experience

James Rogers · 03-30-2012, 10:14 PM

Never existed except in this picture. Homebuilt fake.

LukeDahlinger · 03-30-2012, 10:23 PM

There were 2 prototype 30-31 3 window Coupes made, one with a straight windshield and another with a slant windshield. The S/W Coupe evidently still exists.

As for this creation, James nailed it pretty good! I've seen a couple 30-31 Coupes done the same way as this Coupe and they look as out of proportion as this one does.

This one looks like a truck that had a coupe rear section added except the rear of the cab is 30/31 style not 28/29. Looks odd to say the least.

I noticed that the car is "wrong hand drive". There's a few odd foreign Fords out there. That one's not too hateful. I kinda like it...

I think you can buy a fiberglass three window coupe. I think some of the circle track people liked them. I know the three window coupes from 32 to 36 bring big bucks but I like the five window coupes better. I think they just look better. All old Fords are cute and they all bring back happy memories. I always felt sorry for kids in high school that drove some ugly old Dodge or Chevy.

Looking at the brace above the latch pillar it appears to made from a Sport/Business Coupe. With no provision for a rear belt moulding it looks a bit odd.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I wonder what this back section came from, the rear window looks too short, but I don't see any welds were it was chopped.

This is one of the survivors, taken at the San Diego National Meet many years ago.

Long shot but does anyone have any further pics of the 31 Slant Window 3W coupe prototype?

Thanks

im going to add my 2 cents. And say that looks like a drippy fire weld on the mate above the shelf on the far side.
