Default Re: Town Car Deliveries

Ok , there are 2 straight windshield towncar delivery's known or not known.. to some..There is a picture of 1 on pg.182 of THE FORD MODEL "A" by Sir George De Angelis, Ed Francis [who which i met both] and Leslie Henry. quote: Officially announced in Jan, 1931 as a new body type ,BUT some 1930 bodies had been made prior to that date by BRIGGS. Yes good old Briggs was know for that. Just ask a 180A owner how many changes were made month to month sometimes.So yes there were and are straight down windshield frame Towncar deliveries. As far as 1.2 million dollars for a towncar delivery??? it would cost much less to have one made!!!! And i know the man that can do it.. I ask one day if he can make a Duzzie?? Yes,, bring me a radiator badge and a check..and yes it has been done!! I did ask the man who built a full body of a 1931 Rolls-Royce Springfield roadster who won at Pebble beach ..Old price was $225,000. for the full body less drive train.
