Myts i think you will find your on the right track for the cabriolet.

The Cabriolet was alomost the same as a roadster soft top but with glass in the windows and door where a little longer these didn't really start untill 35-36. but as with the roadster there was no window frame if that makes sense.

they did make a few sports coupe which was a coupe with a half rag top although this were not very common

Note rib along door?.. Maybe it is Dodge?

If the top one is the 33 ford, i dont think it is, cause of the slanted grill.

if the bottom one is 33 dodge i think its the dodge cause the running boards are the same and straight grilll...

Thanks Dave351cid, good idea, it would be good to get some old pics like this going around.
I sent this pic off to a couple of vintage car clubs and no reply, put it up on AFF and I get it figured out in a day, silly me, should have known better and gone AFF first.
By the way, good work charliewool, thanks to all.

Another telling point is the bottom of the (opening) windscreen.

In the original pic the bottom corners are rounded and all the Fords seem to go down to a point.

Ironic isn't it, we all know about GM's!
Yeah, Ford (AFF) website knows all about GM's more than the GM websites!
