Town Car Deliveries
 

I know Tim Kelly and Roy Frost own the 2 pictured here, but how many more are left and where are they?

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

I know that town cars only went part of the year in 1930 correct? so were all 1930's without rear side windows. I have only seen the 28-29 version which had the rear side windows. Just another rookie question....

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

WOW, those sure are some nice cars. I'm lucky enough to have touched one as I know a member who has 1 (and 1 of about every other car made) who is in our car club LOL.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

There was 1 Town Car Deliveries in 1930 and a total of 191 in 1931. Thats it.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

Now these are town car deliveries. These are classified as a commercial vehicle. If my memory serves me right, about 191 made mostly in 31.

Edited,
You beat me to the punch Don

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

Yes they were called Light Commercial Bodies.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

There is a third that I know of that is under restoration here in Connecticut owner has had it for over 40 + years.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

Then that would make 5 in the state of Conn if one is under restoration and owner had it for 40 years.[Did not know of that one] Think there's about less then a dozen .And LIGHT commercial Bodies with a VERY HIGH PRICE...L.O.L.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

Queston, If and I mean IF One was available what would one In todays Market Sell for.? $100,000.-$200,000. $300,000.or More.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

I'll leave that to the experts...

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

Question does the 30 town car delivery have a straight windshield ? rather than the later 31 slant screen type.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

If i recall the 1930 has a straight windshield [that's what makes is very rare] i think 2 were made. Knowing Mr. Kelly somewhat , i am sure he has a list of every towncar delivery and parts in his head.He is not a new kid on the block in this area. As far as the price since a 1929 towcar sold for $225,000 i would say the towncar delivery would go for much more. Ron Frost towncar delivery is forsale as i know of but it comes with his whole collection and that's over 1 million bucks. So its hard to break down the price of the delivery.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

Mr Ron Frost wants $1.2 million for his Town Car Delivery and $3.2 for the whole collection (over 20 cars) and all the parts (a lot of them)

He is a very nice Gentlemen who not long ago showed Marlies and me the whole collection.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

This light commerical truck ad was published Oct 1930. It looks like the Windshield is Slanted.I don't think my wife would appreciate me selling off my retirement fund for a Town Car Delivery. My Deluxe Delivery will do just fine.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

Ok , there are 2 straight windshield towncar delivery's known or not known.. to some..There is a picture of 1 on pg.182 of THE FORD MODEL "A" by Sir George De Angelis, Ed Francis [who which i met both] and Leslie Henry. quote: Officially announced in Jan, 1931 as a new body type ,BUT some 1930 bodies had been made prior to that date by BRIGGS. Yes good old Briggs was know for that. Just ask a 180A owner how many changes were made month to month sometimes.So yes there were and are straight down windshield frame Towncar deliveries. As far as 1.2 million dollars for a towncar delivery??? it would cost much less to have one made!!!! And i know the man that can do it.. I ask one day if he can make a Duzzie?? Yes,, bring me a radiator badge and a check..and yes it has been done!! I did ask the man who built a full body of a 1931 Rolls-Royce Springfield roadster who won at Pebble beach ..Old price was $225,000. for the full body less drive train.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

Joop, I live in the same town as Roy Frost. He is a very nice guy and a gracious host the couple times I have walked through his collection. I would have loved to have met you while you were in Pell City. Does that $3.2 also include the "last Model A".

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

FYI

Tim Kelly, just the one "E".

-Tim C (not Kelly)

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

Nope, not outrageous at all.

It delivers breakfast in bed to you once a week for that price.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

Got it. No disrespect meant to Mr Kelly. Just a typo.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
 

Yes Pete, it can be done, But the radiator will have LEAKS & people will find out its not Original... As YOU know..
