FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I just picked this up today. Guy had owned in for probably 20 years of so it wasnt really for sale but i shot a reasonable offer and he accepted. I lucked out and all the important sedan delivery stuff is there. Just needs some rockers and floorboards and somequarter patches...The rear door needs a bunch of work but its there thank god... so the parts hunt begins

That looks like a Panel Delivery to me. The Sedan delivery did not have the raised belt line. I like your project, but knowing the correct model will make it easier to get help with the restoration.

Here is a drawing from the 1940 sales catalog.

I think it is a Sedan Delivery. The belt line might be just the different color paint under the missing stainless trim. They look big with the fenders off. Here's an example:

was wondering if the sedan delivery had 1 rear door,
verus the panel truck that had 2 rear doors,
I know MODEL A'S were like this, also thought the PANEL TRUCKS were on BIGGER CHASSIS,
but might have changed though the years,
but for sure maake sure you know the model before looking for parts and do your reserch,
just my 3 cents, 37 RAGTOPMAN

I agree with Glen, it looks like a sedan delivery. The panel delivery had a taller window opening on the doors as the roof was taller.

After studying the photo more closely, it is a Sedan Delivery. The paint around the missing trim piece made it look like a raised molding to me. There are several other differences that show up under a more careful examination of the photo.
