There were two wheelbases, the Prefects being six inches longer to accommodate the Fordor body, although the prewar ones could be Tudor, even on the longer chassis. The mechanicals were first sold as the Y Eight in 1932, and the C Ten a couple of years later. So the 1959 Pop was a 1934 engine in a 1937 body. -- Last edit: 2015-03-14 17:37:43
