Is that super early or modified?
Ragtop looks huge and taillights looks weird to me.
Along with the obvious accessories like the wheel rings, mudflaps, and a couple other things |
Look at the dash and it's twin glove boxes for your answer. |

Look at the pre '48 round jacking points. That's also a clue. |

It's a pre '48 with quite a few mods and updates. The speedo looks like the early style and the dash pods are black. It looks like there is a picture of someone, perhaps a woman over the right pod. _________________ Chris

Yes. Very early taillights as well, and sunroof looks to be aftermarket. Later Deluxe steering wheel, however.
Like so many of the very early cars, probably remanufactured at some point. _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.
