Guest Robert52 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 My father started his RAF flying training in Florida in 1941/2 and he bought a share in this car. Can anyone identify it for me? Thank you in anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Robert52 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thank you for that. They bought it for US$125 (£31) and later sold for US$75 (£18), according to one of his letters home. Apparently, they were stopped by a Florida policeman who found they had no papers, but let them off when they promised to "shoot down a couple of Messerschmitts" for him. Those were the days!Can you suggest where I can find more about it? I could find nothing on http://www.thehenryford.org/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Just Google "1933 Ford tudor" and you will probably find stories about them. You may not find any with the aftermarket chrome trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodfiddler Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Robert - Thank you for posting the photo. It is an awesome car. It looks like a 1933 Ford Deluxe or a Fordor to me. But I am a rookie in relationship to folks like Mr. John (Keiser31), but that looks like a door handle by your Dads right hip.http://sunautoworld.com/images1/ford-fordor-deluxe-33-1.jpgGo to Google Images for fun, and search 1933 Ford Hudson Studebaker Chrysler Desoto Packardand any other manufacturer you can think of. It was a golden era when very beautiful cars were sold. Thanks again,Chuck in Kansas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
