Just got my latest "The Desert A" our Arizona chapter newsletter . Pre Covid I spend 5 months each year in sunny Chandler AZ . There is an article in it regarding a 1930 Fordor . The owner advises it has fender lamps and leather interior and sliding sunroof . Dave tells him the interior and sunroof are not original . This is not correct the Manchester England de luxe Fordor were factory fitted with these features even with choice of leather ,blue. roan etc etc . The Briggs body came into the English ford plant "body in white" and was painted and trimmed here . Just hope the owner does not remove the original and fit a USA original !!!

John in same place same weather .
