Steve Fried (1929 Town Sedan, Murray 3 window, 4 door, 155-A) - SFried409@aol.com. Steve's a member of the new Town Sedan Region. His Murray is original with most of the original equipment, including the original muffler! The seats are all original, headliner, upholstery, etc. (Green Mohair). Steve says "This is a driver. We have been on several family picnics and outings with the car." and adds, "I'm looking for seat covers for the Town Sedan. Ford used to sell seat covers for this car but I would settle for anything that looks like a seat cover and fits well! Any ideas or help? I have real good (excellent) original seats and upholstery and I want to keep them clean and neat! Please let me know any ideas you have"

John Icenhower (1929 Town Sedan, 155-A) - johnike@koyote.com. John's had his Town Sedan since he was 14. The car had the original upholstery and a metal top secured with wood screws about every 1/2 inch. The upholstery was replaced about 25 years ago with brown Mohair from a railroad car refurbishing shop. A rebuilt engine with Model "B" head was installed about 5 years ago to give it a little extra power. John has plans to add a Miller or even a Riley 4-port if he can find one.

(1930 Town Sedan, Murray body style) - TWNSEDAN30@aol.com. "It is an early '30 complete with eyebrow front fenders and the other early '30 characteristics. It is mechanically restored. It was painted as a father/son project about 25 years ago so it's about due for a new paint job. The interior is original (what's left of it). The car has been in my family for 35 years and is in generally good condition with a very solid body and fenders."

Mathias Gjerstad (1930 Town Sedan, 155 D) - "I have a 1930 Town Sedan 155 D which I have owned since 1962. I am presently making a full restoration job, which constantly brings new challenges. The car has right hand steering, and has probably been imported to Norway from England. A 1931 engine has been installed, instead of the smaller English produced engine. It is hard to get hold of the special right hand type parts. You can read about the restoration work on my homepage: http://home.sol.no/~magjerst/ . My e-mail address is: magjerst@online.no

Terry and Lynn Lewis (1931 S/W Town Sedan,160B) - TLewis1340@aol.com. Just purchased. It has been stored for the last 39 years in a barn. The car has never been restored and stands untouched. Upon inspection, I found the body to be free of rust holes and the paint worn. The interior is complete, the fabric is dry rotted and has been eaten from mice. All the numbers on the car match. I have noticed that the Fordor is becomming very popular among the Model A community.
