Hello Stefano,

Did this project ever get started? If so, can you share any progress pictures?

Is that a 1942 model, I think the 41 has a different grill ?

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Mike, yes it is a 1942 model Ford 21A.

1st picture shows the 1942 Ford Deluxe Tudor Sedan.

2nd picture is a 1941 Ford Standard Fordor.

I believe this is the result of the project:

A rare survivor is this genuine 42 staff car that was owned by Bert Barker. A RHD version, it would have been assembled by Ford Australia. The pic was taken many years ago during a club trip to Bandiana .
