In 1929, Ford offered no fewer than eight variations on the Fordor Sedan, which was the name of their four-door car. By May 1929, four new “three-window” Fordors, which had a large window in each rear quarter, had joined the catalogue, with two each from Murray and Briggs. There were subtle differences between the Murray and Briggs version, and each body company had an upscale model, called the Town Sedan. Murray bodies were given the suffix “A,” while Briggs was assigned “B.”

This car is a Style 155-B Briggs Town Sedan, and it has been restored and outfitted for touring. A power-hydraulic brake system has been unobtrusively fitted for greater safety, as well as directional signals, a temperature gauge, an engine oil filter, and a 6/12-volt electrical system with an alternator. Other equipment on the car includes dual side-mount spares, cowl lights, jeweled headlight visors, and a trunk rack. It also runs on 1930-style 4.75x19 whitewall tires and spoked wheels.

The two-tone brown paint scheme, while not wholly authentic, is very attractive, as is the interior, which has also been upgraded somewhat from the original pattern. This is a very comfortable and reliable Model A Town Sedan that has been explicitly restored for the open road.
