I didn't speak with the owner but like West I assumed it to be a 1931 with the factory-offered 1932 update kit. The wheels are 8th series. Stunning car.
Maybe I should stand back here. It was me (and not the owner) who said it was a 1930. This based on the photo I took of the Rollston letter in my previous post.
Notice the body style number of 430 - I assumed the 400 series of numbers related to 1930.
Notice the date of the letter as September 4, 1930. This was at the end of the 1930 build year and the very beginning of the 1931 build year. So there may be a number of overlapping parts and options. It is a custom-bodied car.
Again, the owner did a lot of research on this car and I will leave the details up to him to explain. If anyone wants to contact the owner I can put you in touch with him. Just PM me.
