Topic: 36 woodie tailgate windows

  saw this 36 woodie at the Texas Concourse car show a week ago. 16 36 Fords sold from the same seller and there was also a bare chassis that went for $10k! This one had windows all the way around. 36s came only with windows in the front doors and side curtains for the 2 suicide doors, the 3rd seat openings and tailgate. This car went for $79.5 +10% premium. I did note that the windows for the suicide doors used the side curtain track and didn't open. The 3rd seat windows were sliders and required some cutting down of the side panels to fit the track. You can see the "Great Race" 36 sedan delivery that went for only $29.7k(best bargain of the sale IMHO although the Ute for $38.5 and the PU for $34 were also reasonable for the like new condition). I think the outrageous paint job held it back, red body with bright blue fenders and lots of lettering.

Can anyone tell me what year woodie the tailgate window hinges and handles came from?

  The interior handles are the same as those used on the 37 and later station wagon inside rear doors. The hinges are Home Depot's best. Ford used piano hinges throughout the station wagon production. The exterior handles are from a Model A Ford open car and maybe also used on later Fords.
