I'd agree with Dan, one's I've seen that were claimed to be Downs had that same kinda "flat", squared off look about them.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

It is a Downs ...
Look at the rear window. Shaped NOTHING like my original Henry 32 3W ( shown below ). Even allowing for the chop ... the window is out of whack for a Ford. The reason is ... Downs used a 33/34 Chevrolet rear window. Downs made a good many 33/34 Chevrolet glass bodies before ever trying to do the 32 Ford 3W. They took the easy route and used a window shape they already had.
That little mistake ( IMHO ) aside ...
Downs did made a pretty nice body ... and most of the ones I have seen are holding up good.

I was not aware that Downs copied Outlaw's body modifications. Hmm? You can always tell an Outlaw body as they have 1/2 inch more chop than all the other ones.Last edited by rumrumm; 12-30-2009 at 09:07 AM.
