Three door TUDOR

[German guy]

Any idea how I can find out how many three door TUDORs were made and what the interior layout specs were? Mine rolled off the assembly line in Berlin on Sat,28 June 1930 and was registered on 1 July 30. I have the original docs. It was a special order by a baker who wanted to use it to deliver bread and also use it as a family car. It had a fold-forward rear seat and bread racks that went in through the back door...according to the son of the original owner....who was born after the car was already in a barn....so his memory could be inaccurate. He would never have seen the car in delivery layout. Sadly the racks no longer exist and no photos either. It survived the war because it was registered as 'essential deliveries' and made it out of Berlin and into a barn where it slept from 1944-1997. In 97 restoration started and it won some prizes at shows (obviously lots fewer pre-war cars exist in Germany than the USA so competition in that category is less stiff). The post war owner who bought it from the son of the baker restored it as a standard Tudor Delux because the rear seat no longer existed. I would love to take it back to its bread delivery layout but lack any info on exactly how it would have looked...what the racks looked like...mounting points...how the seat folded...etc.


The Berlin factory closed in 31 and opened again in Cologne in 32 to start Model B runs. No records survived the Berlin bombed factory and Cologne has no records of special orders (sonderbestellungen) at the Berlin factory.


Is it possible that similar versions were built at US Ford factories and they might have the specs?
