Davenport Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I was wondering? Is there a difference between the 31 and 32 5 window coupe bodies? This is a picture of what I think is a 32 but, I was told it was a 31...Can anyone set me straight on this? I would greatly appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) 1931 with the visor. 1932 had no exterior visor and the windshield slanted back more. Edited July 3, 2015 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davenport Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Thank you, keiser. The visor in the picture is not original chevy. It's just a homemade piece of metal attached to the roof. I keep looking at pictures of 32s and 31s and my untrained eyes just can't see the difference but, I know you know your stuff from all my time reading this forum so, I trust that the body in the picture is a 31. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again.I thought that visor looked a little funky like a non-original and the more i look at it, the more i believe it is a 1932. I don't think the '31s had the cowl vent.

Davenport Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 lol funky... Thanks Again for the info, keiser. And I am happy to hear it is a 32. Because that is what I titled it as. and now I am selling it and didn't want any problems. I am looking to get a whole car instead, with all the fenders and as original as possible. I guess I grew out of the rat rod phase and looking for a survivor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davenport Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Thanks for the pics. After studying the 31s and 32s I have noticed another dead give away to tell a 31 from a 32. The 31 has both door hinges below the door window line. The 32's top door hinge is placed higher up, above the belt line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
