Sedan or tudor

Just echoing what's been said before.

Ford called the different bodies a Tudor Sedan or a Fordor Sedan. They also referred to the Victoria bodystyle as the Victoria Sedan.

I didn’t look it up so likely shouldn’t even post
I think the Vic was a Victoria Coupe….can stand corrected
Then there’s aA400 … convertible sedan

Did look it up and found tech info where Vic is referred to as both!!
Ford promoted it as a cross between sedan and coupe

So would it be safe to call it a "scoop"? i
 
Many have said it was Edsel’s influence on the word Tudor. His love of the Old English countryside and buildings prompted the word Tudor.... classed it up so to speak.
A visit to The Edsel Ford family estate will give you a good look at his keen eye for style..... ✔️

Anybody know why Ford called them Tudor and Fordor rather than Two-Door and Four-Door?

I always assumed it was a clever piece of marketing. They got to include "Ford" in one name and Tudor sounds more elegant than plain old two-door.
 
A coach is what other manufacturers call what Ford referred as a Tudor, Sedan would be what Ford called Fordor ,as far as I know only Ford used the Tudor,Fordor terminology. I have seen some Pennsylvania titles refer to the Tudor as coach on the title.
 
Names Tudor, Fordor, pickup are very descriptive. How about Coupe, Coach, Roadster??? Tells you nothing really.
