Default Re: 1931 - 170B Fordor DeLuxe Sedan

The 170-B (Deluxe Fordor Sedan 2-Window with stright front window) production started in March 1930 and continued thru March 1931. It was replaced in April 1931 with the 160-C (Deluxe Fordor Sedan 2-Window with Slant Window) which ended USA production in December 1931 however it continued in the foreign markets thru July 1932.

The Grand Total of 1930 170-B: 13710

The Grand Total of 1931 170-B: 1347 (apx.)

The Grand Total of 1931 160-C: 3620 (apx.)

The Grand Total of 1932 160-C: 202

Since Ford combined the Deluxe Sedan priduction (170-B and 160-C) into just one production column in 1931 on the below document, which was represented by "DLUX SEDN",...the production numbers then are as close as we can get them when the transission happened in March/April 1931.

These figures and dates were derived from Ford's 1930, 1931 and 1932 Assembly Record Type documents.

I am currently working on an article about the Evolution of the 2-Window Fordor Sedans and if you have a good photo of a restored to original car of this body type, I sure could use it in the article....Or any other of this body type as that goes as there were seven (7)!

Thanks.
