The Tudor sedan (get it? "Two door"? Yes, there was a Fordor) was the cheapest version of Ford's Model A, with prices starting at $500. Even adjusted for inflation, that's only about $9,500, continuing the Model T's trend of putting America on wheels. Ford sold a couple million model As in the first few years.
Under the hood was a 200cid flathead inline four putting out forty horsepower, driving the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission.
The slight blue cast to the photo above, as well as the low viewing angle, is due to the fact that I snapped it through the windshield of my BMW Z3 while sitting at a traffic light, using a Nikon D2X and 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VR II zoom lens.
Love those!
