The FORD CHRONICLE book shows the 1937 production total for the club coupe as 16,992. The number for 1938 is shown as 7,171. In 1937, the total Ford production was 929,390, so the club coupe was certainly a fraction of the '37s made. Ford billed the club coupe as an alternative for the rumble seat cars. The body was made by Murray, when Ford was preparing to produce their own. The club coupe configuration lived on as the "sedan coupe". By 1948, the sedan coupe production was 44,826, while the most popular model, the tudor, shows 82,161, followed by the fordor, at 71,358 that year. Even though that was considerably less than the 70,826 sedan coupes in '46, and the 80,830 in '47, It was still among the most popular with the buyers.
