DynaMike ◊ 2009-08-01 09:40	Town Sedan was still used in 1959 ?
58Roadmaster ◊ 2009-08-01 23:27	You are half right, and I am half wrong. Town and Club Sedan names were used in the Fairlane and Galaxie series while the Custom 300 series continued to use Fordor and Tudor. This car then is a Custom 300 Fordor [58E] of which a quarter of a million cars were produced.
