i read a post where someone said, "all 32 5 winders had roll up back windows" is this true? can someone post a picture of their 32 5w roll up back window please? thanks and i did a search which is the reason for the question.
I don't have a pic to post, but I always ***umed it was just rumble seat cars that came with roll up rear windows.
from what i have left of the wood around my rear window, it does not look like it ever had a roll up window.
Here is a pic of mine. Sun was bright! From what I heard rumbles had the roll down window but im not positive.
Rumble seat coupes all had roll-down back windows but they could be ordered for a Standard Coupe As well.
My 32 5-window was originally a trunk model with a roll down rear window but it has been changed to a rumble lid by the past owner,,,It's going to be changed back to a trunk in the future. HRP
well, in the next couple of days i will try to take a pic and post it. and i might take you up on your offer dave.
For some pics of the mechanism, package tray and drain pan check out item 310164128139 on feebay which will sell today.
yes i read that thread and saw that on ebay. but my question is: WERE THERE SOME 32 FORD 5W COUPES THAT DID NOT HAVE A ROLL UP WINDOW? because mine looks like there was never anything there but wood without any holes in it. i will try to post a pic soon. thanks guys. maybe someone messed with it in the past and got rid of all of it.
Exactly how I know it to be. My 32 5W aka standard coupe was not rumble but had the roll down rear window and no cowl lamps.
All late 31 Model A rumble seat coupes had them also! Rumble seat only, but could be ordered on a trunk car.
According to the salesman's book, roll-down was STANDARD, rumble was OPTIONAL on 5 window. This does not mean that Ford was consistent at all times, but that is the correct setup. All should have had the rolldown. Removal was probably because of leaks and all that nasty junk hanging down fro the drip tray.
From looking at mine the regulator seemed unique to the back window. I think the model a one is different to but im not sure. 33/34 is different for sure.
look at the bottom edge of the window opening, the sides and top have a flange to atatch to the wood, the bottom doesnt have a flange so the window can go up and down, every 32 five window i have ever seen was that way. im pretty sure they all had roll down back windows. but you never know. JEFF
I have a 32 Ford 5W with normal trunk. My back window only rolls down half way. Should it roll down fully? I didn’t see anyone cover this. Thanks.
I was told from previous owner that they only go down half way. I just wanted to confirm. Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
@nochop can you post a pic of your mechanism please. I have 2 sets of regulators but don't know if they are 32. Also they are both missing the spring which I will need to source.
My regulator is behind some sheet metal and not visible. Here is a photo from the Ford Restoration book
Both of mine have roll down rear windows and are trunk cars. One rolls down pretty much all the way and the other only 1/2 way.
