Hi everyone. GREAT comments back and forth! Hard to say if a custom or "semi custom" builder. I purchased this 1931 Ford Model A with some custom factory built body,this weekend,to save it from being rodded,at somewhat great expense. I have been a car guy for 40 plus years,and I have seldon seen a custom bodied Ford Model A. Notice the craftsmanship on the extension of the body,the body molding,custom back fenders,etc. I believe it started out as an original Tudor sedan,then the body was removed right behind the front doors,and the balance added. It used to have a material covered roof to hide all the body work. Don't know if the frame has been extended,as the Ford is stored in Ohio,and I am in Florida. I had the prior owner look for a makers plate on the cowl,doors and floor board,and none was found. Looks like it could be a hearse,flower car,commercial or delivery vehicle. Windows in back used to have pull down shades. Looks like pulleys and cables enable the drive to pull open the rear doors. Could be by Henney,Meteor,S and S etc. Who knows-not me! OK guys get your books out and let's ID the beast. I might consider selling for $6,900. However I am interested in IDing it right now. Can you imagine pulling up to a national Model A meet in this restored??? How about this as the hauler,pulling a vintage sprint car or midget racer on a trailer behind it?More photos avail. by email.
