The Ford Barn

Anybody here score that car? An early '30 Standard, which is fairly uncommon. The guy that listed it was all frothy over the aftermarket heater and never once mentioned it was the rare Briggs standard two window sedan of which 5279 examples were produced. I made a run at it, but alas, deeper pockets prevailed.
Sure hope a rodder didn't get it.

What was the eBay auction number so we can see what it looked like.

Well if a Street Rodder did get it he had a spair $6,800. and got a great car IMO. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...65530637#v4-36

Car is not going to be rodded.
It is going to a Museum.

this 1929 is on the internet for sale for $9500.00 is this what is called a blind back?

If you are talking about the black one at the provided link, it's an April/May built 170-B Deluxe Fordor. I have one very similar.

Marco, Is that the one you use for beer runs?

BTW, a very nice example!

The Fordor shown by Model A Man appears to be a 29 Leather Back. If it was a Blind Back, the two rear corners at the top would be rounded more.

The vin, if it's the origional engine, is from march, and I didn't see a rear center armrest. Enlighten me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a standard sedan?

It definitely has a center armrest and is mohair instead of the standard brown check. The engine was completed March 19 and could have taken several weeks to find it's way into a car.

Hmmm. Thanks for the clinic. Guess I'm glad I didn't win it. I'd still like one of these, though.
