Hi,
From next month, we will begin work on the 1916 Model T town car. I request some one to give me the following information just for my curiosity.
1)What is the difference between the Model T laundaulet & Model T Town car?
2) I found out that only 802 Model T town cars were made. Any idea, approximately, how many are surviving?
I have attached a picture of the Model T Town car that we will begin to restore. This picture was taken when the Town car was almost new.
Thanks in advance
Ananth

You don't need to worry! Laundaulet's were discontinued long before 1916.

Re: Ford T town car & Landaulet
I beleave the difference is; the Towncar had a roof over the driver the Landaulet/Taximeter cab did not.

Re: Ford T town car & Landaulet
I think the laudelet has a top that opens over the passengers as opposed to the town car that is closed over the passengers. The chauffeur or drivers compartment can be open or closed on either style.
