https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/rarest-32-ford.201153/ Might be something in here. I didn't go through all 6 pages.
If there were only 800 32 three windows built I have seen all 800 of them at one time or another over the past years. It could be that there is documentation that that is one of 800 built in a specific Ford plant.
According to what I have read, there were 22,148 3 windows made , compared to 12,597 roadsters. Still a rare car.
I got to thinking there were very few 3W with the B 4 banger, but this car has a V8 headlight bar. I got out my 32 Bible and looked up the worldwide production figures. There was 22,145 3W made in the US. 970 of them were 4 cylinder. There were additionally 812 V8's made in Canada. If there is a C in the serial number that might be where they got their figure.
Seeing that the car was found in Pennsylvania, it's very possible that it could have been one of the Canadian produced models.
Could be Don, just playing a trick on the unknowing. I commented to him that the fuel supply line on an earlier Swamp Rat was huge. His reply, "Yup we used a radiator hose from a Corvair for the fuel supply line". After walking further a bit my buddy gave me a dope slap and asked, " A Corvair???"
I'm wondering why it would make a difference, Murry or Briggs? Isn't a '32 5 Window voted the most iconic HR of all time weather it is either one or the other? BTW I don't agree with this BS. Wanna know which one I believe is?
this comment is for bored and stroked. So, I'm only 18, in the Air Force have a new bride, at a buddy and his new bride's apartment in Wichita, we are deep into go karts as we have one, we race. We've been at it for hr.'s on what we need to do to get more power, we start talking boring and stroking the little power products 2 stoker we run when from the other room comes a female voice that says, "We'er so bored, we could have a stroke" That was 65 years ago now. I'll never forget it and that bride is long gone to other pastures, and that great AF buddy and is wife now reside in the great beyond.
Now that was good! I bet you guys just cracked up! You've given me a new perspective on my name - won't be forgetting that soon. And at some point when you see your AF buddy and wife again, give them my best.
And Deluxe. Not a lot of people shelled out the extra money during the depression. The V8 was also an option. It's fairly easy to generate rarity - if you've ever seen a Marti report on later Fords a lot of them show your car as 1 of a few when you take into account how your specific car left the factory when compared to the others. Both my 98 32 valve SVT Mustang and the wife's 2004 Thunderbird become one of less than 600 produced when you get down to the specific configuration. Over 172,000 Mustangs were built and about 13,000 Tbirds.
