Sixties Sam Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I'm guessing model - in a scale larger than 1/25, maybe 1/16 or 1/12. I wonder how passengers got into and out of that back seat, especially women in the long dresses of the time. It must have been awkward!

sjordan2 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Real deal, based on the tire tread. But I've seen large scale models every bit as detailed. Edited July 29, 2013 by sjordan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Whether it's real or a model, there's a door in the middle behind the back seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 THAT'S how the ladies got in. Lord forbid the lift heir dresses to get in the front. I've seen one like this at Henry Ford Museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorvairJim Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Real deal. I was going to answer Sam's question about how folks got into the back, but Skip took care of that already. This body style was called a "Rear-Entry Tonneau". In some cases (although I'm not sure if Ford worked it this way), the rear body section was seperate from the main car and could be removed. This looks a lot like a Runabout with the additional rear seating area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
