Re: Town Car Deliveries
So how many points would this 1.2MM TCD score in Blue Ribbon judging at a MARC or MAFCA National Meet? For that money it better be 495+. Just a thought!

Re: Town Car Deliveries
On the Germany car I don't have a sharp eye nor even seen a TCD in real time but a 5 second glance you can quickly pick up on issues. No matter how much is spent to correct everything you'll still have a Faux TCD. Where would you EVER find a set of sidelights to replace the grab handles? The exterior door handles are probably the only thing that would be easy to fix and that's just the beginning.
It would be an extensive adventure to put it back to the Deluxe Delivery it started out as. It looks like the rear of the body was shortened. Most of the world drive on the right side of the road so why would the rear door open from the left? Last edited by foxfire42; 05-28-2016 at 05:24 PM. |

Town Car Delivery recreation for sale - again
If anyone might be interested, the Town Car Delivery recreation that used to be in the Den Hartogh Ford Museum, NL is again for sale through a local Dutch car dealer (click on the photo below for more details and photos):
If you are wondering about the price history of this car: The above dealer is currently offering it for sale for 23,500 Euro ($26,685) Previously it sold at the Bonhams Auction of the Den Hartogh Ford Museum in June 2018 for $16,986 incl commission. Prior to that it was offered for sale through the Den Hartogh Ford Museum, NL for 27,000 Euro ($30,207) but did not sell. Prior to that it was offered for sale at a local auction (BVA Auctions, NL) in September 2014, but at 13,800 Euro ($15,675) failed to meet the reserve.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
This Dutch TCD looks to be made from a '31 Tudor ; the original straight windscreen TDC in 'Model A as Henry Built It' has door swaging like the coach built Briggs & Murray Fordors plus the rear quarter & back panels are shaped differently, tailamp was commercial low mounted, full length rear bumper etc. on the original.
Re rear door hinged on 'wrong'side, Brad in Germany years ago put up some original Commercial Tudor [ Tudor with rear door sold in some markets] pics taken in Germany with the door hinged as this replica TCD, although Germany is a LHD country. [Maybe the kit to put in the door originated in Britain which supplied most of Ford European plants.] cheers- Tom in NZ. |

Re: Town Car Deliveries
There was a TCD at the Reno rally last year. I heard it was bought for about $US300K not long before. It is not one of those pictured here so far. I was fascinated by it, having never seen one before.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
There are two 1931 town car deliveries in this video, including the one pictured above that belonged to the late Tim Kelly.

Re: Town Car Deliveries
There are several originals and some that have been cloned
I don’t know who has what in that arena and really unconcerned ifthere are clones. This was told to me by the late Tim Kelly This pertains to the slants not the others Last edited by Oldbluoval; 06-14-2020 at 04:22 AM. |

Re: Town Car Deliveries
Looks like the Clayton collection has both of the Tim Kelly Town Car deliveries, I saw the black one two years ago at the Cider Mill meet in Shelton. Are the deluxe pick up and Special Delivery also former Tim Kelly vehicles? Bob

Re: Town Car Deliveries
Thank you WTSHNN, that Special Delivery was from the Swigert Collection if anyone is keeping track of those things. It is a nice untouched vehicle, I found the remains of one at the Town Dump back in the 1960's. Sold the drivers door window regulator about 5 years ago to someone that never dreamed of finding one.
