Town Sedan vs. Fordor Sedan

Ed, I wish I could clean mine but it's to far gone and the paint spilled on the front seat would never come out. Mine does have pockets on all 4 doors none on the back of the front seat but it has a robe rail. Also someone painted all the window trim black at some time and I sanded a few spots on the window trim and it has wood grain under the black.
 
It's interesting. It appears the change to tan broadcloth was in play in early May while flat firewall bodies were still in the pipeline. As shown below it was the end of May before any were reaching the Indianapolis branch. Note the last three topics below. It certainly appears all three were simultaneous with the Town Sedan (160-B) and Deluxe Fordor (160-C). I seriously doubt they ever produced Tan Broadcloth trim with the early features or Bedford Cord trim with the late features.

Jim K,
That woodgrain can be saved. Search for my thread on saving original woodgraining. My town sedan also had the trim painted black. Must have been a trend at some time. A little patience goes a long way and is worth the time. Nothing like original Henry woodgraining !
 
Deluxe, I saw your post on saving the wood grain but mine is beyond saving the dash must have been sanded before they painted it black I only found some good sections on some of the side windows some were sanded and some not. where are you located in Pa I'm in Southern York county.
 
Jim K, I'm in Fayette County, just north of Morgantown, WV (where I send all my $ for out of state tuition to WVU for the past 9 years :) !
 
I know what you mean there I've got the last of 3 on her last semester in the spring then I'm done. which means more money for the cars then.
 
OH, no, I'm not at all done. Number one is out with 6 years (masters), number two is still there at year 6 of a 7 year doctorate ( they overlapped for a few years) and number three will start in two more years. Still workin, still livin !
 
Jim, you were asking if anyone else had the same tan broadcloth interior. The 160B I just bought definitely has it also other than on the front seat cushion.
