Reckon its a special coupe..28/29..or a regular coupe somebody was whittling on..

It's for SURE a '29 Special Coupe, with some wood parts removed. The rear area was almost ENTIRELY built of WOOD. These bodies are QUITE RARE!
Moldings around the bottom of Vinyl top covering, are virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find. One Guy cut off the entire roof & welded in one from a '29 Standard Coupe, which is virtually ALL STEEL. BUT, then, it is no longer a "SPECIAL COUPE"---It just became a PLAIN Old Standard Coupe, like Vermin.

I agree. Rod"Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good." Thomas SowellComment

Don't mess with that molding if you can avoid it. They are very delicate, come in two pieces, are nearly impossible to remove without damage unless you have divine intervention, and you may be old and gray before you ever find another usable set.Comment

Agree it is a Special Coupe body. The groove behind the quarter window takes a molding that is unique to the Special Coupes. The belt rail molding was used on the 1928/9 Sport, Business and Special Coupe bodies. You are more likely to locate a belt rail molding than the quarter window molding pieces. Tony Raffin was reproducing the belt moldings a while ago but is no longer doing them. Some guys are using extruded aluminum for the belt rail molding.
Is there a number stamped into the top of the front body cross member?

I have had a WTB ad on a few websites. The ad is for a model T but this question applies to A's as well. I am not sure about this " barn fresh" thing. I greatly appreciate any original time capsule type vehicle but wonder why the 40 or 50 year old dust and dirt from storage is left in place and considered important. Wouldn't the cleaned up original finish be the valuable part of the find?...11-24-2018, 02:39 PM -
Hello!! Not sure if this is the best place to post this question but wasn't sure where it would fit. Found this old Ford part in my dad's barn. Haven't been able to figure out what it is or what it's for...Model T, A, tractor, or something else Ford. Thought I'd reach out to the community & see if anyone has any ideas. Appreciate any help & looking forward to feeling stupid LOL!!.png "smile")
Thank...
