What is it? Quiz #380

1928 Ford Model A Tudor sedan, police special.

Quiz #380 is a Ford Model A, 1928 Tudor Sedan. Type 55-A. 1929 models had the same bodystyle but differed in many details from 1928. Most of these can't be seen in the picture but are e.g.
-head on centre bumper clamp ('28 round, '29 oval)
-Headlight lenses ('28 fluted, '29 fluted with prisms)
What to me makes this one a '28 model is the visible taillight. '29 model taillights were fitted with a pressed steel bracket to the mudguard. This I don't see. So it must have the forged bracket typical for 1928 fitted to the lower body. '28 taillights were cylindrical though. This one seems to be different. An accessory type?
Spotlight, possibly with rear view mirror, toolbox and trunk rack are definitely accessories.

It's a 1928 Model A Tudor sedan You can see the Drum tailight which was only used in 1928. Later cars had a light mounted on the rear fender.It is being used as a taxi has a luggage rack on the back and a for hire light on the lefthand screen post Accesories include left hand welled fender for spare tyre and a tool box on the running board

This appears to be a 1928 Model A Ford Tudor Sedan Interestingly, it has been fitted with a side mount spare tire, not often seen on these early Model As, perhaps it was done by a dealer at a later date. I owned one of these for a while and I miss it, but it was sold to a good Prewarcar.com customer in Great Britain.
