Default Of all the different types of Model A's produced...

Of all the different types of Model A's (Cars and Commercial bodies only) produced from 1928-1931, I wonder which body style has never been restored?

Now the AA Trucks are a different animal...many of those have not.

The one-off stainless steel body style Model A hasn't been restored yet.

How about the three window coupe? The only one I ever saw was unrestored at the Long Beach Queen Mary meet in the early seventies.

Years ago when attending the Labor Day Field Meet in Carson City, Nevada, a man from Carson City had a 1929 Tudor that was all original and only had about 20,000 miles on it; his father had purchased the A new. I wonder what ever happened to that Tudor ?

How about a 1931 Town Car Delivery. I've never seen one of those restored.

Easy one.

Maybe.

The Travelers Wagon. I believe there are no surviving examples found. I believe someone has made a replica.

Ron: Look for Peter Etchart in Sparks, Nevada (Kay & Leon's son) He works for Washoe County School District. Don't know what he ever did with either the 29 Tudor or the 30 Roadster.

There are 3 or 4 Town Car Deliveries restored and or being restored. In my opinion, neither the Travelers Wagon nor the 3-window coupe were production vehicles.

Granted Ford never assigned a body code to the Travlers Wagon that I know of BUT it is listed on the 1931 Assembly Record Types and there were 10 made.

5 USA, 2 Foriegn, and 3 Canada.

Would not that be a "production vehicle" then?

3-window coupe not listed.
