1931 Model A Stretched Standard Fordor Sedan 160A

the pictures below are an interesting idea that was discussed at Ford...


Pictured here is an interesting custom bodied Model A limousine. It is a stretched version of the 1931 slant windshield 160A body style Standard Fordor Sedan, but with an obviously longer body including rear quarter and front and rear doors, and with rear-hinged front doors.



The doors are also taller below the beltline, and the door and cowl bottom reveal goes upward at the front to meet the standard hood.

Also note the absence of cowl lamps, as well as the separate door-mounted lock cylinder like a Model B, rather than having a locking scroll door handle


The chassis appears to be based on a Model AA truck. It appears to have regular style 19 inch Model A wheels, but with bigger brake drums. Also seen is the AA deluxe front bumper.
