I have a 36 Tudor and one of the screws that hold the door handle on won't tighten up. Is there a nut on the back of the screw that may have dropped off or is it just stripped. As a second question. I recently was at a car show and couldn't answer if mine was a Standard Tudor, Touring Tudor or Deluxe Tudor. How do I tell? Dave C.

You need this book (See Attachment). A 1936 Ford "Touring" Sedan is known as a "Humpback". A 1936 Ford that is not a Touring Sedan is known as a "Slantback" or "Flatback." Standards have less fancy trim, especially the grille, windshield frame and horn grilles--on the standard these are painted, on the Deluxe they are bright--chrome or stainless. Standard has one tail light, Deluxe has two tail lamps (generally). There are other differences. You need to buy the 1936 Ford book. . . . 78-730B This message was edited by TonyM on 5-19-15 @ 11:55 AM

There's a threaded insert in the door for the screw. Most likely it is stripped. Are you sure you are using the right sized screw? If it is in fact stripped you might try drilling it out and replacing with the correct size "nutsert" of "threadsert". Also take Tony M's advice and get the 35-36 book.

Here is a photo of a 1936 Ford Tudor Touring Sedan. Note the "humpback" style trunk. . . . 78-730B

Grille for 1936 Deluxe cars were chrome plated with stainless steel trim. The horn grilles for 1936 Deluxe cars were chrome plated brass (early production) or stamped stainless steel. Standard 1936 Fords were equipped with painted grilles (body color) and horn grilles (black). . . . 78-730B
