I ordered the 33/34 book from the website but as I wait for it to arrive, can anyone tell me if the dash in a 1933 5 window deluxe should be wood grain or did they come painted Brown also? On a side note, should the spare have a cover over it or was that an option? The car I'm looking at is Black with Green wire wheels and matching Green pin stripping. Would that have been a standard color/trim in 1933? Thank You in advance...

The dash in the Deluxe models should be wood grain. Black cars had a Vermilion (red) Pin Stripe and Aurora Red Wheels. Black wheels would be correct as well. The trim color on the car you are looking at (green stripe and green wheels) is not correct for a 1933 Deluxe. This from the EFV8 1933-34 Restoration Book....

The availability of apple green wheels on demand for much of the U.S. '33 model year is well documented in Ford's Archives. Whether or not the striping color was also apple green when the wheels were that color remains to be documented.

Thank You to all for answering my questions. Can anyone venture a guess of a fair value on an older restoration but in excellent condition, 1933 5 window? It is all stock, mechanical brakes, and the only departure being a painted dash and trim and the questionable wheel color and pin stripping? Thank You.

If you could post a photo of the car it would be helpful. The secret to buying an old Ford is doing a thorough inspection yourself and also having a someone familiar with old Fords with you for a second opinion. That second set of eyes will see things that you miss. Whatever you do , do not buy a car without a proper inspection. You want to buy a car with the best sheetmetal you can find. Check floor pans, fender beads, quarter panels, rocker panels under the doors, etc. Crawl around underneath, as what you see on top maybe a lot different than what you see on the bottom If all checks out good I would estimate the value at $35-38,000.
