Default Re: 160 B front door window trim

Ed,

Here is the information that I have put together on the 1931 S/W. If any of the members of this forum have additional information, or if my information is incorrect please post.

FWIW
When Ford built the 31 Slant Window he had Murray and Briggs build the bodies the same so parts were interchangeable. There are some telltale differences such as Briggs used d-nuts on the fire wall and Murray used caged nuts on the firewall. Also Brigg had a manufactures mark the Briggs “Bug”, see the attached photo showing the “Bug’ on the RF cowl .on some production parts, on the front cowl.


The 160A. The Ford Standard Fordor had scrolled door and window handles, painted molding around the windows and painted front dash; the dome light was centered in the car with a switch on the light and a rubber mat in the driver's compartment.


The 160B. The Ford town Sedan had a pull rope on the back of the front seat, simple non scrolled door and window handles, wood grained molding (with a scalloped lower frame ) wood grained front dash, the dome light was over the back window and was controlled by a sliding switch on the door post, cowl lights and carpet.


The 160C. The Ford deluxe town Sedan - Same as the 160B but no rear quarter window, referred to as a blind back.
