Four door Vs Tudor

[Ed H]

Seems like there are a lot more tudors cars and parts for sale than four door. Did Ford build more tudors because of cost to the consumer?

I just ran into 3 four door sedans looking for my car. I like the four door

The Fordor was a wood body with tin nailed on, while the Tudor was a metal body with wood to hold the upholstery in place.

So many more Tudors were both sold and survived. Fordors do have more class IMHO.

Some of the four door sedans have the front seat attached to the B post which makes it near impossible for a 6'3" guy like me to enter and exit. The Tudor seats are only anchored on 2 pivot posts that are easily replaced and moved back for us height challenged.

Have a whole pile of 29 Briggs learherback sheetmetal. Parts from 2 cars. One was the donor of the chassis used for the delivery and the other from another purchase. Sold some of the tin and made patterns for a few people. Once the wood is gone they are just piles of metal pieces. Rod

I like the look of a tudor on the exterior of the car better then the fordor, but I like the fordor interior better then the tudor.

Tudors outsold all other body styles. To me, they say 'Model A Ford' more than the other styles. We had a very early '29 Tudor that I loved. It was a great car.

And yes, getting in and out of these little buggers if you are over 6' tall can be a challenge. The '28 Roadster PU, forget it. I don't recall having an issue getting in and out of a Tudor but even Roadsters themselves are a pain.

Ok, so you are saying I have my work cut out for me.
Thanks for the reply, always wondered what the difference was other than two doors.

The slant window Fordor had very little wood, kinda like the Tudor

In another thread you stated that you were going to start working on your 1931 S/W Fordor. When Ford stated producing these S/W bodies they become more of a metal body and very little wood. You should have very little trouble with your wood.

Thank you, makes me feel a tad better. No matter what, I will get it done.
