One of four custom 32's offered in Germany. Also the only one I know to exist which came to the surface a few years ago out of Switzerland if memory serves me?

Re: DRAUZ fORD
 

Gorgeous! Except for the trunk on the back.

Re: DRAUZ fORD
 

IF you know 32's, it was sort of a solution to "hide" the gas tank and utilize unused space It also neatly hides the gas filler cap.

Re: DRAUZ fORD
 

It does make for a very nice place to keep the tool kit for shows too.

Henry in Holland (34Gaz) has or at least had a German Bodied 32 Ford.

Re: DRAUZ fORD
 

I know 32’s, and I can’t say their trunk was an elegant solution to anything. None of the tank needs hiding. Beautiful as is.

Would love to have pictures or see which one it is/was IF you have contact info or would like to share mine with him?

Re: DRAUZ fORD
 

Couple other German '32's a bit more streamlined than the Drauz IMO.

Not German, not 1932 but this is the trunk I built using genuine LV material for my 36! Whenever I have it out and about the ladies usually have no idea of what kind of vehicle it is but without fail recognize the trunk!

I like the trunk on the Ford Werke semi-custon convertible sedans, but not the overgrown landau irons.

Though kinda deep into the Drauz weeds, here is a close up photo of two different cast brass(?) prototypes of those unique door handles, with their 90 degree bend (from the archives of Drauz in Heilbronn, Germany, now "thyssenkrupp Automotive Body Solutions"). Note the different shape of the recessed versus the raised ribbing along the center of the door handles:
