Car pics too cool not to share

Here's another of my problems projects. '67 Firebird 326 H.O. stick-shift car. Fairly rare car. I think my PHS papers say less than a 1000 were built in various colors. Mine is blue/white top/white interior with black dash/carpet/console. She also has an interesting back story as a racer that was used in a hit-and-run on a state trooper.

What she needs to look like...

I've seen that picture a few times and in my usual mistrust of most words typed on the internet I noticed the newer picture shows a lower door handle, the drip rail end being more curved and the beltline (if that's what it's called) doesn't wrap around the rear. After seeing that I kinda doubt those are the same guys.

Cars are still cool though.

Obviously they are different cars. ! is a Model A and the other is a 32.

Thanks for filling me in on that. All I knew is that they weren't the same.

Edit: FWIW, I wasn't checking to see if you were right, I just wanted to learn the differences between the Model A and those "newer" Fords. 1932 was the only year with with similar rear side windows, (33 rear side windows got triangular) but the door handles weren't lower and the beltline got thicker where it still wrapped around the rear. A little more searching led me to 1932 Chevy Coupe. Maybe the black one was just in primer before it became this one. Yeah, right.
