According to "Standard Catalog of Light-Duty Ford Trucks 1905-2002
By John Gunnell" there were only 3 made.

If so they all survived, and I know the owners of two of them. Bob

Mike V : That's only the 2nd pic I have seen of a real one,over the last 45 years. Really neat piece!

3? Hmmmmmmmmm...

Production of the 1930 TCD: 1

Production of the 1931 TCD: 190 (USA) and 1 (Canada)

About 5 more were made in 1932...It would be interesting to know if these "5" had any 1932 parts on them as quite a few ModelA/AA's were assembled in 1932 from leftover production parts at the various assembly plants through-out the world.

From Ford's Assembly Record Types 1930, 1931, 1932.

That is why I posted where the info came from.

I wonder how many still around are "real" like the regular Town car.

dlshady · 05-12-2014, 08:33 AM

I think there are more like 5 1/2 or 6 1/2 known to have survived. I can think of three people who own them off the top of my head and possibly a fourth, but his may have been sold to one of the first three. Still an ultra-rare body style for sure!

There is suppose to be one near Cobourg Ont. Can. It was brought from Toronto and was used like this one by a florist. That's all I can find out. End of leed!!!

The Old Tinbasher.

I'd trade my 28 Sports Coupe for that one!!!!

SteveB31 · 05-12-2014, 08:47 PM

Mike Conshafter · 05-20-2014, 05:07 PM
