Default '32 ford

I saw a 32 ford described as an original H body Ford, What does the H signify.?
Thank you

In the early prototype development of the '32, the code for it was "10" and even a few parts that went into production still briefly carried the 10 prefix for their part numbers, but no letter H unless referring to Henry informally.

I gotta' agree with you both. H=Henry.
Thanks for the insight.

Yes, I'm sure it was a shorthand way to indicate the car was a REAL 32 Ford as opposed to something like a Brookville that is all metal but wasn't built in the 1932.
