Interesting side note.

Sometime in early 1928 Ford approached the prestigious LeBaron to design and build a proto-type Town Car body. LeBaron were considered car body design leaders.

The surviving proto-type TC body had a right side cowl vent in addition to a cowl band and cowl lamps...all 'firsts' to appear on a Ford in 1928.

Production of the Town Car bodies went to Briggs with their larger capacity.

I wonder who had the later idea by re-design the front driver's compartment to create a ForDor for the 'masses' ??
