Ford 1932 Tudor found in Holland

Some friends of mine phoned me that they were visiting a man who was selling his Model A Fordor and that he also selling a 1932 Model B Tudor that was imported from Denmark in the early nineties and untouched since then.

What do you think of this "European" tudor ?

And yes i bought it. (of course)

Very Very nice! The roof panel insert seams a Little larger at the front than most others either that or the camera angle if it is large then it really looks good. Great find.

It also has an American style hood and not the European raised louvres panel like a Model A

 

Awesome score. What's behind it???

 

That's an English one - send it back here now!

 

Ik kom volgende jaar Juni naar Nederland, zorg maar dat de '32 ingepakt is zodat ik hem kan meenemen in m'n bagage.

 

nice

 

Kom maar langs, kijken mag, meenemen niet (net als met mijn vriendin)

 

Sorry my friend, the steering wheel is on the left side.

If it was RHD i would have given it to you for free

 

Ha! OK, keep looking then, please.

This one was on eBay recently, also from Denmark - did Ford have a factory there?

Not completely sure but in Europe they had factories in England, Holland, Germany, Spain, Denmark, France and even Turkey (maybe forgotten some countries)
In the book of Tony Thacker (came from England) there is a lot of information
regarding factories all over the world.

 

In 1932, USA, England, and Canada had the only true factories making engines and everything...they supplied the many worldwide assembly plants, some large and some tiny ones that just uncrated parts kits and screwed them together. Germany was evolving toward an independent factory but not yet making Engines.

 

Here's Tony Thackers book.--------Don

 

That's the one i mean
Great book written in the eighties

 

Does this one have suicide doors?

 

Yes most of the European Tudors and Fordors have suicide.
If you look to the photo you can see it has.
Fordors had all doors suicide.

The things above the doorhandles are manual turnsignal lights as required in most
European countries since the fifties

 

Here another shot of it, the one before is a 28 Willys and i'm not sure what's behind it

 

The suicide door sedan bodies were from England, other body styles in England were US style from Canada--Ford England was a fairly small operation on big cars and imported lots of stuff from Ford Canada. European stuff was mixed US and GB sourced with only minor local variant stuff in '32. The smaller the country the freer the importing was...some parts of the world chose US or GB/Canada stuff because of import taxes.

 

Looks good.

 

cool

 

Nice!

 

Nice car, thanks for the post, please post more photos when you can.

 

Is bueno! Will you hot rod it? Nice purchase me friend.

 

Very cool !

 

WOW!!! Incredible find, great score

 

I haven't seen the car in person, but with 7 other cars to work on i think it will stay a 4-banger, probably some other wheels but not to much changes.

I will put photos here when it arrives in my garage

 

Very nice.

 

nice find !!
gefeliciteerd !!
