1932 Ford Sedan Delivery

[Mike Chernecki]

I just picked up Revell's '32 Ford Sedan. I would like to do it as a sedan delivery. Aside from the obvious differences (paneled rear side window, rear door and cargo floor), is there any other notable differences. Are the bodies the same size or is the delvery longer? Taller? Etc

Thanks

You've nailed the differences, those were all. For '32, Ford farmed out the modifications of Tudor sedans to LeBaron, the famed coachbuilding arm of Murray Body Company in Detroit, as the expected sales volume just didn't justify their doing them in-house. (only a couple of hundred or so were produced)

The bodies were standard '32 Ford Tudor sedans, with a rear door (built like a Model A Ford sedan delivery, the rear quarter windows filled in with sheet metal where the glass would have been (recessed just as the glass would have been) and leaded in around the edges. The floor was the standard sheet metal floor, I believe, which would have been nearly flat, the Deuce not having the high arched rear crossmember and spring of the Model A. Used the same front seats, but those were upholstered in artificial leather (a Ford product as well), and the side doors had artificial leather inner panels. The inside of the rear was either bare sheet metal and structure, or it may have been covered in heavy cardboard stock, with a painted surface.
