TheDriver ◊ 2006-04-02 14:42	My suggestion: a 1931 Ford (Roadster?) http://www.hotrodders.com/vehicles/20.html -- Last edit: 2006-04-02 14:42:39
Hecubus ◊ 2006-04-02 18:30	1931 Ford Model A seems correct.
BeanBandit ◊ 2006-04-03 12:22	That radiator cover (also on the yellow car) looks more like 1932 model B.
toledobill ◊ 2007-07-26 20:16	Actually, it's a 1932 Ford roadster. The 1932 Ford was the fabled "Deuce" of hot rod lore (as in “Little Deuce Coupe”, and every rodder who ever watched this great movie still winces at the thought of wiping out the side of one this nice. The grille shell is definitely 1932, but deuce shells were often transplanted onto earlier (Model A) bodies. And the frame is definitely a 1932, because it has the unique 1932 "reveal" that allowed the deuce to be the first Ford without splash aprons covering the frame-to-running-board. But again, lots of Model A bodies were later put onto 1932 frames. The final proof is in the windshield stanchions (those little chrome stubs at the cowl which the rest of the windshield hardware bolts to). They’re also unique to the 1932 body. So we have a ’32 grille shell on a ’32 body resting on a ’32 frame. And finally, the “Model B” designation refers only to the engine, not the car. 1932 was the first year for the fabled “Flathead V8”. All previous offerings had only a four-cylinder engine. The 1932 V8 was overwhelmingly the popular choice, but Ford offered a 1932 four-cylinder engine that they designated the “Model B”. These were extremely rare, and it’s doubtful that this hot rod was based on a Model B, so the correct title for this car should just be “1932 Ford Roadster". All of these observations concern the US Ford offerings, but the the movie takes place in San Francisco, so that's a safe bet. -- Last edit: 2007-07-26 20:20:12
Ray B. ◊ 2007-07-27 12:43	That seems obvious.
Flight Risk ◊ 2014-01-26 20:45	Look at the damage to that car, and the owner was rightfully outraged, but said the damage would be at least $30. Even in those days that seems very low. Spencer Tracy gave him $50. That was an expensive ice cream.
