    I don´t see a rear door on this Pheaton... is that what you mean? I´m no Ford expert, but that 32 looks kind of weird

    I think so…..
    A Model A Deluxe Phaeton 180A with a Model B Grille
    I still wonder if it’s a late 31? Could it be factory?

    This ended up being a deep dive.
    At first I thought it was a 1932 Ford Model B Tudor Phaeton.
    There’s no such thing but there is a Model A Tudor phaeton.
    All 1932 Ford Phaetons were Fordors.
    There is a ‘32 Tudor convertible sedan that has a cloth top but door frames. It’s really an odd car.

    Joe Blow’s observation, 32 Grille on a Model A is right on. The big clue for me was the cowl chrome strip on the Model A Phaeton that is evident on this movie car.

    Conclusion…..
    32 grille on a Model A goes way back.

    Good eye......it was the cowl chrome trim and the cowl gas tank cap ( you have to look quick) for me.

    certainly the gas cap gave it away!

    Obviously an early hot rod by the 41 bumpers, 40's wheels, not to mention the 32 grille & shell
