Ford Model A Dashboard Color
How do I figure out what color the dash board should be? My father has a 1932 Slant Windshield 4 door. Is it the same color as the doors/hood? Thank you.

Re: Ford Model A Dashboard Color
Sounds like a late '31 Model A and there's a different forum on this site for the As. Slant windshield terminology is pretty much confined to the As as all of the '32 body types, including the trucks, had slanted windshields.

Re: Ford Model A Dashboard Color
Of course Dave is correct about the use of the slant window terminology. When you said it was a 1932 I suggested you move it to this forum from the Model A forum where you made you initial post. Now you have added "Model A" to the description. My guess is that you are trying to say it has a 4 cylinder engine. The 4 cylinder engine was a Model B in 1932. I think it is time for a picture.
Sorry about all of the run-around. Charlie Stephens Last edited by Charlie Stephens; 07-29-2021 at 06:43 PM. |

Re: Ford Model A Dashboard Color
It is possible that your 1932 slant windshield 4-door is a late 1931 Model A that was, due to slow sales at this point in the Depression, sold to the original buyer in 1932. Some states (and provinces?) had regulations that registered the vehicle for the year in which it was sold rather than the model year in which it was manufactured.

Re: Ford Model A Dashboard Color
And there is the further fly in the ointment of Ford still producing real '31 Model As in the 1932 calendar year outside of North America.
