  2. Years ago I saw an original Ad for 1932 Fords.
    It showed the "Fordor Sedan" and the "Tudor Sedan".
    Knowing it was to appease the illiterate at a time when it was a common problem. I figured it was just Two Door and Four Door made simple.

    To this day...There are still a sizable number of people here willing to argue with you ..

    Hey, that's a nice Two Door.
    No, ...its a Tudor.
    A Tudor?
    Yes, its a Tudor Sedan.
    Really? Not a Two Door Sedan?
    No...Tudor...Its a Tudor Sedan!

    Now....Why Henry Ford would feel the need to name a body style after a 15th century aristocratic movement started by Henry VII is beyond me.....

    Thank god they never sold Trouble Pruff Tires here.

    1. I always got a laugh over the Tudor and Fordor names, Henry must have had a soft side we never saw, but somehow he let that happen...
