As you say, Brad, it is only a modified town sedan. I visited the museum just before it closed, and it was an OK way to spend a day, but I suspect that I would have enjoyed it more if I had known less about A's They also claimed to have a TCD, which was nothing more than a chopped up deluxe delivery. Most of the cars had been given 1970s-style "messtorations"
It makes me angry when I see the "expert" from Bonhams writing about the "town car" in the auction catalog "This is an honest and correct version of one of the rarest of all Fords from this period" I am thinking of the poor buyer who perhaps thought that he bought the real thing.

Here is the link to that auction lot from the Bonhams Auction of the museum contents....including lots more photos of the inside of that car as well: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25077/lot/235/
It sold in that auction for $26,045.
I had a chance to get a close look at that car while I had a Model A in storage in their upstairs private warehouse. It used to be a Fordor and is very "creatively done". 
It is now in a private collection in Germany.
