Technical Need help identifying this car. Anyone?

someone was trying to make this



but didn't get the memo about how long to make it?

 

Homemade?

 

Wheelbase looks a little shorter too.

 

I expect it's home made, from various Model A parts.

Yes, the wheelbase looks short.

 

That looks like fun ! Needs a 301/Muncie/5.38 axle ...

 

So, is this a 3 window Model A? I didn't think Ford made this?

 

Just a couple, maybe less.

 

Wow!

 

A Truck Doors ?
Short like Roaster one's

 

@DylanHill1931 you know that one?

 

I think it was a prototype or design exercise or something...but not a regular production Ford, no.

 

Holy Grail Model A! Ha

 

Model A three window very rare. Protype that never went into production.

 

There were at least 2 prototypes made by Ford. One in 1930, the other in 1931. IIRC, they were shown in Ford Life magazine. As Ronnie Roadster stated it never went onto production.

 

The wheelbase is shorter than a stock Model A. Even with pickup/sedan doors there still should be more room to the rear fender.

 

Running boards are definitely too short.

 

Experimental Model A. At the same time Chevrolet was experimenting with going bigger.

 

Same concept only as a roadster.

​

 

Like to see it with the top chopped.

 

Whoever built it did a great job! Looks factory.

 

not sure what would make a person decide to do that. they did a good job though ..

 

I'm guessing an old build when there was an abundance of them around.

 

C9, was a walking talking encyclopedia, he said there were 2 built.

The first picture was Sam Bergman's 1931 prototype 3 window coupe reported to be one of the rarest factory Model A's in existence. Mr. Bergman's coupe is alleged to have been one of Edsel Ford's own personal cars. It had a C engine under it's hood, was maroon in color with of course black fenders. In addition, the car had 105,000 original miles when found. Seen at 1974 MAFCA National Queen Mary Meet and the 1990 San Diego National Meet.



The other one sported a windshield like a conventional Model A.



C9 is no longer with us but I believe he knew what he was talking about. HRP

 

Could be a “Shorty” cut up from a 4dr????

 

That's pretty likely.

 

I'd drive it.

 

Could the pic be a photo shop excersize? Cab at belt line is sharper black, cute but I wouldn't have any leg room!

 

Back then it was 'retouching' and done by hand. No 'shop involved.
My mother's mother did this for a living, supporting herself and my mom.
Usually not making things up from thin air, but fixing things in the picture.
