Thanks,Don. What is the model of the short wheelbase sedan that has rear suicide doors?

I have no Idea. I believe both the suicide door and non suicide door cars have the same wheel base but I cold be wrong. Pictured is a town sedan. See post 17 for a non town sedan.

Hi Pete & All,

    All this information is from the Ross Roy (D-24) Salesmen Data Book.

    All DeLuxe and Custom vehicles have 119.5" wheelbases, except for the Custom Seven-Passenger Sedan which has 137.5".

    The 'premium' Custom model cars have the additional chrome rear fender moldings.

    The DeLuxe Four-Door Sedan, the Custom Four-Door Sedan, and the Custom Seven-Passenger Sedan all have rear "suicide" doors. The other four door model, the Custom Town Sedan, is equipped with the "regular" rears.

Don,maybe it is the small photo and my old eyes,but I really can't see any difference in them.

You have 2 choices. Trust me, or do a forum search.

Too lazy and tired to do a search,so I guess I will trust you.

It doesn't really matter anyhow because the towncar  I was remembering clearly wasn't a Mopar because it had a shorter wheelbase,suicide rear doors,and a sort of short roof with a bit of a hump where the trunk lid goes. I'm more interested in finding out what that is. It's possible it was a 41 Chevrolet because that is one of the few Chevrolets that I like.

if for nothing else to compare...look at the most rear side glass....I have a 1941 and a 1947 Town Sedan...museum tours start at 8 AM by appointment only, come after breakfast, bring your own lunch and leave before supper....10.00 entrance fee being driver or driver and car load...5.00 parking fee for non-Mopar visitors
