    I wouldn’t be surprised if the subrails were originally wood.

    The correct term for the body style is deluxe delivery. That should help when you search for details, there was a sedan delivery, but it's a different style and floor. Here are more pictures of a deluxe delivery floor.

    The deluxe delivery body is longer than the Tudor, as shown looks like they had wood floors and subrails.

    Check on Ford Barn, I think they made them TWO ways, normal and one with a dropped floor, or I've mixed up the Sedan Delivery with the Panel Delivery. Bob

    It looks like the kits are made, not cheap for everything. I have no idea if they're in stock though, that could be a whole other issue!

    There were also panel deliveries made in 30-31. The drop floor delivery is the same style as the deluxe, just with a "step area" in the rear door area. It has an extended metal panel/valence below the door, and some different wood in the door area. Drop floors are rare, and yours isn't one based on your picture.

    Hello, Welcome to the HAMB! Great looking project, thanks for the photos and info. What did Ford call the all wood delivery, the two door that looked like a Station Wagon with blanked out sides? Bob

    The body style you describe was called a Special Delivery. It's a very rare body style.

    I found the remains of one a good 50 years ago at our Town Dump. Had the window crank mechanism up until 10 years ago. Sold it to a guy that had one of the six known originals at the time.

    If I recall, the window regulators are unique to those cars too. Nice find!
