Re: 1932 Ford 4 cylinder engine tins question
Fairly rare, but not unheard of; for example six of seven of the more or less original '32s in the Regehr auction in Kansas later this week still have their engine splash pans intact, both fours and V8s.
The purpose was to keep the ignition system dry by preventing rain water from being splashed up into the engine compartment by the front wheels, hence "splash pans".
