    Good afternoon dudes.

    I just got this rear section of a model A and the owner told me it was a 1930. But everything I see online tells me diff. This body has one bead at the top of the rear fender and no bead around the wheel well. I thought 30’s have a bead at both curves.
    Can you help please??

    Dash rail doesn't look like model A, nor does the inside of the doors. Top chopped off?

    Look how deep that wheelwell is. The mid, rear panels and raingutter don't look very Fordish either.
    That ain't no Ford!

    Resembles a model A firewall...
     
  21. Model A cowl and possibly doors, back half is not Ford.

    Edit: Doors are also not Ford upon closer inspection.

    30-31 Model A cowl, doors don't look like model A, and quarters look to be coupe-non Ford. They are cut above reveal below where rear window and roof were. Not bad shape, hopefully you will make something out of it.

    The pass door has different patina that the pass quarter, probably pieced together?

    shiny bolts holding the firewall in and the cowl bracing looks like a 30-31 but the quarters aren't Ford.
