difference between 36 and 37 olds

[obnoxiousjr]

i am trying to figure out what my cars are the only difference i can see between the two are that the one has two body lines on it coming up just past the fire wall and the other only has one that goes all the way down the body.

Theres a big difference in the grilles between a 36 and 37. The 1935 and 1936 models are more similar then the 37. Big difference on the 35 and 36 is that the 35 had suicide doors while the 36 is standard.

here is the 1937 grille (think the doors have been reversed)

and this is the 1935 and 1936 grille
