The rarest of all Ford Model A body styles, the town car delivery holds a particular mystique in collector circles. Style 295-A was intended for urban commercial use as a light delivery vehicle likely for baked goods or floral use. The style is charming and charismatic but clearly did not find favor among buyers in period. Today, it is coveted by collectors. Meant as a "halo model" for the successful Ford Light Commercial line up, the high cost of this model and somewhat limited practicality likely stifled its sales potential. This Ford is similar in looks to the sedan delivery model but with an open driver's area and a division behind the driver. The rear door was also distinct to this model. This style was often equipped with elaborate formal coach lamps emphasizing its higher end nature. Extremely rare in the market place, a Town Car Delivery has consistently been the rarest and most coveted. It is the "Holy Grail" of the Ford Model A collecting world.
