1932 Pic

[Flivver]

Wow, there is are some beautiful images at that site - it is new to me. It sounds like there are more pictures of that '32 Ford, if so, I don't see them.

In 1932 and maybe up through 1934, Ford made about every body syle that has ever been used on a car. Someone, probably here, and probably Fletch or Fliver told me how many, but I have forgotten. I am thinking 27 maybe.

Cheers, Jim.

According to info I have on hand here, Ford offered 14 bodystyles in 1932, 18 bodystyles in 1933 and 17 bodystyles in 1934. And I don't think the wonderful Brewster customs from 1934 are included in these counts.

But among the closed cars, the Victoria close-coupled two-door sedan, pictured above, is my favorite...even nicer than the coupes in my opinion.

Of course how many of those were actually made in any numbers? One doesn't envision the nine or ten people in North America at that time with the money and the hootspah to order a custom bodied car choosing the low-price leader over Packard or Cadillac.

Besides, I count 21 body styles for 1931, so '32 was a cutback year in every respect. Source (the book, not the webpage)

:eusa_clap I quite agree...The Vicky even survived, surely in very small numbers, into 1934! (Sorry the picture's so small.)
