Ford would not have produced this body. It would have been
built by some coach company or another. Were it a Briggs or
Murray, those mfrs. would "tag" it somewhere, but it probably
is not. Then, as now, custom coach builders created special
cars for special clients. We have a coach company here in
town that has actually been doing this since the Model A era,
but in the main these companies come and go. The best source
of information on such a weird beast would be actual paperwork
from that company if you can find such. Newspaper clippings,
the company's invoice, et al. Were this ever to been entered
in competition, you'd have to have all this stuff totally doc-
umented as I've described or they'd toss you out on you keester.
