I would like to find the Budd prototype May 1930 straight windshield styled Tudor sedan, or the September 1930 slant windshield Tudor sedan! I know they existed. The pics are cool! Apparently Ford was not impressed enough to adopt Budd's proposals.

Edit: I just looked at your link, and it matches my info, and in fact they show a couple of the same archive photos I have.

Are you saying that there were pics of that car in the Ford records? I thought the story was pure BS since it clearly was intentionally designed to showcase Budd's pending patent (1,825,323). It was a low slung design that would NOT work with ford's chassis. They couldn't possibly believe Ford would redesign the entire chassis and all their other models just to follow Budd's lead! If I recall correctly, the original photos were taken AT Budd's facility.
