Differences in 3 and 5 window 1932 Ford

[Hooterville]

Longtime lurker coming to ask the experts a question.

I'm considering building a 32 coupe.

I'm a big guy so the space issue looms large for me. Ive ridden and driven a 5 window and the guy had a seat that let you sit all the way back in the car. Looking left offered no visual impairments to traffic. How about in a 3 window, is the window and the door longer?

Thanks for the help.

I own a 32, a 3 window version because it has suicide doors, I used to own a model A and I find this rod easier to get in and out of. Yes the doors in a 3 window are bigger.

The 3W is longer in the cabin, and wider across the mid section of the body, and they taper more radically into the firewall.

I was talked out a 5 window from street rods by michael and my wife. The wife liked the looks of the 3 window better and michael said the 3 window had more room... If you really want room then do a 33 or 34 3 window. The 34 I had I could put the seat back so far I couldnt reach the gas pedal....
Not so in the 32.. I love the car but on long trips my loud pedal leg gets a cramp... I need cruise...
