30 fourdoor
Hey guys...there is a model A on ebay that says it's a 1930. The body looks to be a 30...but the wheels,front fenders, and radiator shell looks to be 28 or 29. I'm not wanting to buy it, but I was curious if the car is correct, and if it is, does it have something to do with it being a briggs or a murray body. the item # is 120707303156. Thanks for any comments. I've never seen one like it, and just trying to learn something.

It's a '29. Look at the cowl & hood along with the fenders.

It's a 1929 155B Briggs Town Sedan. You can see where the cowl lights once were located. Without the cowl lights and rear seat armrest it would be a 165B Standard Fordor. The stripe on the gas tank also defines the "Deluxe" version. Gar Williams

Re: 30 fourdoor
Thanks for your responses...it just was the first time I've seen a car with the body lines of a 30, a 29 grillshell, 29 front fenders, and 29 wheels. Also it appears to have a 30 front bumper, and a 29 rear bumpers. And to be honest I just based my observations on my 30 coupe. They must be somewhat rare, or I just have not noticed them before. As I said I was just trying to learn as much as I could.
Thanks for your help. Stan |

Here's another one on E-Bay #160567554990. It's a 29 Town Sedan that has the belt lines of a 30.

Re: 30 fourdoor
Thanks again...so you guys don't believe it has anything to do with it being a briggs or a murray body.

Re: 30 fourdoor
might be a late 29 that was sold in calendar year 30 and titled as such.
our 31 Tudor was titled as a 32.
