    3 window were deluxe, may have glovebox compartments.
    Over the years I have seen 7 different dash types for ‘32.

    Innie, outie, roadster, 3 window coupe with glove compartments, roadster pick up, not sure if closed cab commercial is different, sports coupe with windscreen vents, etc.
    that’s not looking at left hand drive verses right hand drive.
    Made in many different factories, so that may have something to do with it also.

    Jacob, check on the steel cross rail right between your seats for a number and letters stamped on top. That is the production plant and the number of tudor body that came off the line there.

    My early production tudor has a few regular things mixed in with early things too. I think it's because mine was produced in Des Moines and parts got mixed up as they made their way from Detroit on the train cars. The guys on the assembly line didn't care if they stuck and early or late firewall or dashboard in there, they just used what was in the crate.
