Plymouthy Adams Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 yeah Norm..and the overused term Tudor which you see uncapitalized in describing every two door car out there..give me a break... Quote
Cpt.Fred Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 tim, this is interesting to me, i always thought "tudor" would be kind of slang for 2-door, but of course english is not native to me. what does it really mean, i'd like to know that! thanks... Quote
Frank Elder Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Tudor and Windsor were originally English royal familys, Ford adopted the names Tudor and Fordor to explain their 2 and 4 doors. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Its a Ford coined word for their models and in my opionion whould not be crossed to the general car field as this was a marketing word for their lineup...similar to the use of words to describe a chevy engine..RAT and MOUSE..with the crowd say the 350 is smaller so is a mouse motor and I bet you few know what it is called a RAT engine...90% of the Chevy people I asked this question had no clue...

Cpt.Fred Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 ok, so a 2doored not-a-ford shouldn't be called tudor... i am going to edit my first post about my car... thanks! Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Capt. Fred...again..this is my opinion...the term to describe the other makes has a very short history compared..I think only the ford used the term in advertising back in the day and only of late has this word be whitewashed to a collective catch all term...even of late whith the word Brougham..do you know how many late model cars used this term and in no way reasemble the original design this name implies...I like keeping apples and oranges seperated till its time to make fruit salad..and being in Germany...I guarantee you that you know the difference between a Cabrio and a Convertible...

Cpt.Fred Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 yes, i think so, too. the smilie was just about me introducing here by using term i didn't know what it was meaning. we have these terms in germany as well, and most people don't really know what they are saying. for example we do not have a "sedan", only limousines. but that has nothing to do with the original meaning as well. or in one of the last posts, the "drophead"... 100s of things one doesn't know yet.

Plymouthy Adams Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 I love the term drophead...that name put about 4000.00 more dollars onto the description it is so rich..the old terms of yesteryear are being dragged through the streets today by these cheep madams and their mass production whores..
