My books show the Deluxe Fordor sedan as 2,767 (dry) pounds. Dry, meaning less liquids, as most were rated. There were a total of 124,984 standard and deluxe Fordors made, and 105,157 Fordor "touring sedans. I believe those were the ones with the large trunk back. 1935 was the last year for wire wheels and "suicide" doors hinged at the rear. The styling changes were largely those of supplier Briggs company. From then on, the combination of Edsel Ford and Bob Gregorie took over and produced some outstanding designs.

Don't mean to hi-jack the thread but I believe super real might be mistaken. Super real, If you are talking about front driver and front passenger doors, then 1934 would be last year for suicide doors (hinged at the rear). None of my books show 1935 Ford cars with front driver and front passenger doors hinged at the rear. Rear doors on Fordor models continued to be hinged at the rear until 1948.

You are correct. I meant to say that '34 was the last year for rear hinged doors. Thanks for the correction. This message was edited by supereal on 1-21-12 @ 6:42 PM
