I purchased a 32 ford sedan delivery that was never finished. The ag on the rear door says Body by Beck ST. Johns Mich. The only thing I cam find about Paul Beck is from your article when you went to michigan to trade him parts. Do you have any contact information for Paul Beck? If so can you forward it to me, by phone or email. The delivery has a great 2″ chop, woodwork is perfetic, and workmanship is excellent. It was never on the road and i am in the process of doing it.Thank you; Tom Douglass, Pennsylvania. cell phone 610 310 5011, email lilydouglass@verizon.net Jan 8 2024
