Ford Tudor Sedan Buyer's Guide (1928–1940)

There's a line from Sam Barris's shop in Maywood that runs directly to every kustom build you see at Oakland Roadster Shows today, and the Ford Tudor Sedan sits right in the middle of it. The Model A Tudor, the 1932–1934 Tudor, the 1935–1940, these are the cars that defined what American kustom kulture could do with a factory body and some lead. What I tell first-time buyers is simple: the body is the building block. If it's straight and the metal is solid, everything else is time and money. If the metal is gone, you're starting from nothing regardless of what's on the title.

What to Check Before Buying

✓

Magnet panel test , Run strong magnet over all lower panels (lead slides freely, Bondo attracts slightly

✓

Roofline sight check , Sight down roofline front and rear) kinks or sags indicate bad previous chop

✓

Cowl channel probe , Probe windshield base area, universal rust zone on prewar Fords

✓

Lower rear quarters , Check fender-to-body seams for rust

✓

Rocker panels , Probe lower body sills along full length

✓

Floor pans , Check interior floor for rust-through

✓

Panel gap evenness , Check all door gaps, uneven gaps indicate twisted structure or repair

✓

Trunk floor , Remove mat and probe trunk floor at corners

✓

Wiring safety check , Inspect cloth-insulated wiring for deterioration, fire risk on original systems

✓

Previous modification quality , Assess any prior modifications: are they professional work or amateur attempts?

Common Issues

Cowl channel rust is universal on unrestored prewar Fords. Lower rear quarter rust at fender seams. Rocker panel rust along lower sills. Floor pan deterioration from age and moisture. Previous bad kustom modifications (incorrectly executed top chops, poor lead work over rust rather than over smooth metal, mismatched panel grafts) are the market's hidden cost. On Model A cars, the original four-cylinder engine is easily worn but often replaced with a flathead V8. Wiring on these cars is original cloth-insulated and should be replaced for safety on any driver-quality car.

What to Look For

Magnet test over all lower body panels, identifies lead vs plastic filler over unknown metal. Roofline inspection from front and rear, a bad previous chop has a visible kink or sag. Cowl channel probe at windshield base, universal prewar Ford rust zone. Lower rear quarters at fender seams. Rocker panels along sills. Floor pans inside car. Trunk floor. On 1937–1940 cars: area behind rear wheels at lower fender seam. Panel gap evenness, uneven gaps indicate twisted body structure or previous damage. Door operation and fit.

Price Guide

Original Model A Tudor driver: $12,000–$20,000; show: $22,000–$35,000. Deuce Tudor (1932–1934) driver: $20,000–$35,000; show: $38,000–$60,000. 1937–1940 Tudor driver: $18,000–$30,000; show: $32,000–$50,000. Quality kustom build: $60,000–$120,000+. Half-finished or badly modified kustom project: significant discount from original, sometimes 30–50% below equivalent unmodified car because the corrections cost more than starting fresh.

Did You Know?

Ford produced over 1.2 million Model A cars in 1929 alone, making the Model A Tudor one of the most common body styles in American automotive history, which is exactly why kustom builders had so many to work with. The term "Tudor" is Ford's phonetic play on "two-door", a naming convention that continued through the 1950s with "Tudor" and "Fordor" sedans. Sam Barris's 1951 Hirohata Mercury, one of the most influential kustom cars ever built, used techniques refined on Model A and early V8 Tudors in his Maywood shop.
