Wow!!

 

Thanks

 

What are these two crazy things above? Some kind of wild European coach built bodies? Never saw those before.

But if we're picking some keepers, I'll take these last three.

 

This is the description given:
"Starting with the Model T, Ford did offer formal town car body styles in limited numbers. These were very expensive Fords and were intended to be chauffeur driven urban vehicles. A number of Model As were also equipped as town cars and are some of the rarest of all Fords in this period. The clientele was limited, but there was a market for a more affordable chauffeur driven car based on the highly reliable Ford car.
Built in the style of the famous 1927 Lincoln with Judkins Coaching Brougham coachwork, this well executed Model A is not likely to be seen outside of this collection. Done with a high degree of coachbuilding skill it is a complex body that was not built by an amateur. It is a representation of what a customer could have commissioned a coachbuilder to execute on a Ford if they so desired. It is built on a standard 1931 Ford chassis incorporating the original hood and cowl into the coachwork.
This fords is a fun and eye-catching machine that is bound to be an attention getter wherever it is driven. The matched pair in this collection are believed to be the only two existing. "

Thanks for the pics. Some very rare and unusual body styles there. Also I'm with Squablow and the last 3 would be my pick.

 

The coach built A's are cool, but I would argue they began as 29's.

 

Wow, what a collection!

 

I think that snowmobile would make a cool hot rod. I made a model of one using the paddy wagon kit a couple of banjo rear ends and some skis from a Lego set
