: My '31 slant winshield town sedan has the regular
: non-indented firewall.At a meet this weekend, there
: was quite a bit of discussion as to this occurrence.
: It's my understanding that the s/w was introduced
: in March '31 and the indented firewall later on. So
: there must be other cars, like mine, that have a regular
: firewall.Any thoughts on the numbers of cars, like mine
: that were built?
: Thanks
my s/w has the earlier firewall also. its murray #886,which
would suggest that 885 or or so others were built at the
murray works before the firewall change at minimum---perhaps
other s/w owners would post the body numbers and other details
of their cars? i have been getting the impression that the
rate of survival seems to be a bit better for these than other
body styles---perhaps the fordors were less attractive to the
hot-rodders of the 50's????
