On 1928-29 they used 2 door sedan / coupe cowls and 2 door sedan and coupe doors on 1930 -31 they used a sedan/ pickup cowls and 2 door sedan and pickup doors Panel delivery are different too later kb
KB your info is confusing, arn't coupe, sedans and pick up doors all different? Mr gasser, a sedan delivery or a panel delivery (truck)? My understanding is 28/29 sedan deliverys used sedan doors, all panel trucks used truck doors. There was no factory sedan deliverys in 30/31, just panel trucks.
KB is correct in what he said about the doors. 28/9 PU doors are different than Tudor Sedan/Coupe. 30/1 coupe are different than Tudor & PU. Your understanding of 28/9 deliveries & panels is correct as well.
Well I must have been dreaming when I rebuild this one it's a 1930 deluxe delivery I need to start a thread on 1928-1931 sedan deliverys and panel deliverys, I have built and worked on a doz or so of them all year and style and a few 1932- 1948 later kb Later kb
Yes, that's a 30/31 but not a sedan delivery, thats a truck based panel. To me a sedan delivery is a standard Tudor with the 1/4 windows blanked out and a rear door added, other wise known as the Type 130A Deluxe Delivery Car in 28/29. In 30/31 it was replaced with the Type 130B and had it's own body, not a modified Tudor , it was bigger, and considered a truck. That's what you have pictured here In 1932 the Type 130-B went back to being based on a modified Tudor body. Being based on a Tudor or truck is what I'm referring to, not the name "Deluxe Delivery car".
I think your reasoning is wrong because if Sedan Deliveries where only slightly modified Tudors, there would be no sedan deliveries after 1932, all would be Panel trucks. I would argue that the most widely accepted definition of a Delivery vs a Panel is if it has 1 rear door (Delivery) or 2 rear doors (Panel). Now there may be some flukes out there where a special Panel had a single rear door, but that is the exception not the rule.
OK, guess I'll clarify what I'm saying. I agree generally sedan deliverys have one door, Panel trucks have 2. Regardless of the name I was just pointing out 28/29 and 32 were modified Tudor bodies, the other years they hade a body that was all their own, didn't share 1/4 panels and such with the Tudor. That's why I was asking what year the op had. If his is a 28/29 we know it uses Tudor doors, admittally I don't know which doors Ford used on the 30/31. FWIW the 33 on Sedan Deliveries did have their own Ford built bodies but apparently a few Tudors in 33/34 were modified into delveries by an outside vender (Briggs I think, and if I remember right they were mostly for Nation Cash Register service fleet) so one might run across a Tudor based delivery, which would be quite the find!
OK, these are the quarter panels I have, (the lower corner is there, not missing, just bent in slightly)...I'm assuming these are '30-'31 panel truck?
Mr gasser: Those quarters sure look like 30-31 sedan delivery to me. I have a 31 panel, and the top rear is very squared off. Also the panel truck appears taller.
agreed 35 or 36, 35 grille is thinner and the hood badges are in different places 37 is a solid roof, grille and hoods are different
Here's my 31 Panel Truck 79B. <input id="mac_address" value="" type="hidden"><input id="mac_address" value="" type="hidden"><input id="mac_address" value="" type="hidden"><input id="mac_address" value="" type="hidden">
