  h*llo all you specialists
my friend in France has a tudor super deluxe V8 which was converted in switzerland between 1948-1953 to run on charcoal and petrol (it has 2 carbs). we now have found it to be model 89A, but he would like to know what body type it is. it has rear seats, so it must be a sedan and not a coupe. i have loads more photos which can help identify it including interior ones.
also the car is for sale
please contact me on LTVRT@yahoo.co.uk if you can help or are just interested

  Lawrence,

The vehicle shown is a Sedan Coupe, body style 72B.

Can't speak for the enormous burner in the trunk! Wow.

  Conversions like this, while never common, were done here in the States during WWII due to gas rationing. Usually more the result of too much time to waste than the need to be mobile, they were definitely testaments to the builder's ingenuity!
