Revell '31 Ford sedan/sedan delivery.  Surprisingly straight too I might add; early issue and more recent issue kits are nice and straight while the Seventies and Eighties issues can be pretty nasty.

The Buttera T kits didn't have separate doors.

I'm sure the sedan molded in brown with the small pic of buttera on the box top had seperate doors. I sold mine 6 months back or i could check. I know the one in the 3 kit set with the model a and 34 was molded shut

No, sorry Les. None of those Buttera kits had separate doors. They did have separate inner door panels though.

[IIRC you call them "door cards" across the pond. ?]

The Buttera sedan kit pictured is the first issue, with photos of the 1:1 car on the box.  That first issue was a slow seller, hardly anyone bought it because it didn't show the actual model.  Most people, me included, figured it would be a typical opening-everything Revell kit, thus unbuildable.  Once Revell changed the box to show the model instead of the actual car, those kits started flying off of store shelves.
