My friend just sold this real Town Car to a local Gentleman and he has another that is also in perfect condition. The new owner actually drove this car to our car show yesterday.
just is a beautiful car, especially the interior.

I saw both in the previous owner's garage last year. To see one is amazing. Two see two at the same time is unbelievable.
 
wish I knew it was being shown-would have taken the ride.

Only about 24 out there...............
 
Tim Kelly has 2 town cars, and says he knows where every surviving town car is. There is one not far from here in a private collection.

My understand that there is 26 left in the world, they are really nice cars, well constructed and oh so elegant
 
I've seen a few Town Cars at the national meets, and I have to think they are everyone's dream car. They look even better in person than in pictures.
 
When a good friend was restoring his Town Car, I gave him a great deal on an original red steering wheel. He let me drive the restored beauty one afternoon, and while it drove nicely, I was terrified the whole trip.
 
I got to steer one while being pushed so we could move it. I am short at 5'4" and my knees were scratching my nose there is that little leg room. She steered like a dream though.

Vern, your a good friend for letting me **** your roadster for that special red steering wheel that I so desperately needed and still have. And yes, I'm terrified whenever I drive the car still too!
 
In 2001 the Model A Restorer's Club published a book with title "The Model A Makes Its MARC". Turning to pages 192 & 193 you will find a color photo of 5 Model A Town Cars and one Town Car Delivery, all owned by Carle E. Garrett at that time. One of the Town Cars was said to be the only one in USA with right hand drive. I believe the collection has since been broken up.
 
Don't want to hijack the thread but I'm stuck in the hospital and am bored. I was a teenager and watched Rick Carroll's TC being restored which forever hooked me in the Model A hobby. Anyway, I wonder whatever happened to the 30 TC that was offered on Ford Barn about a year ago. Price started about 100K. There was a lot of discussion here as to price but even in its pathetic condition it was still a TC. Hope it is being restored.

am guessing it never sold at that price-so many small items were missing............
wrong chassis etc. when you were done, you had a TC made from pieces old and new
correct restoration at a shop would prob cost 200k
