Default Do all 32 ford coupes have body tags.

Saw one 32 coupe that had a body tag on a plate riveted to the floor under passenger side. Found one that did not. Should all of them have this body tag or does it depend on where the body was built.

Originally, all '32 deluxe coupes had a body builder tag on the floor cross sill below the front of the right side of the front seat, be they Canadian or U.S. manufactured, deck or rumble seat equipped.

Old ford, you did not specify...3w or 5w coupe. 3w were built by contractors, 5w were built in house.

Is this a fact? I always refer to the Loren Sorenson books and he shows both the 1932 Deluxe and the five window Standard as Murray built.

According to "The Early Ford V8/As Henry built it" by Francis & DeAngelis....Ford, Murray & Brigg's ALL made the standard 5 window there was NO "Deluxe" 5 window!! A book WELL worth investing in!!!
