Re: Body Interior Variation
Railcarmover,
Your analysis once again makes absolute perfect sense throughout. Everyone naturally wants whatever documentation they can get but even for much more recent production such as my C3...

Tudortomns,

I might suggest we start talking more about horses instead of cars at this point though I question it would lessen the confusion. Really hard to imagine considering the fact that an actual "Town Car"...

Re: Body Interior Variation
d.,
You are correct in that my terminology needs adjustment. I know the limo you speak of and you are again correct that it is the only "Town Car". I however was using that as a "slang term" as many...

Body Interior Variation
If we look at variations in the interior features of fordors it seems we must speculate about the origins of some of the differences. We can study such as the book "As Henry Built It" and learn...

Re: Need Sedan Seat Carriage Diagram
I am in MO Ray. I doubt from what we are seeing that it is anyone with Model A knowledge. Outlaw hoodlums who saw it and knew it was there and came in the middle of the night.
Thanks.
