: Has anyone ever heard of a four door, Murray Body Victoria with three side windows?
Nope.A Model A Victoria was always a two-door sedan.It's different than a Tudor Sedan in the shape of the rear part of the body. The Tudor body is longer at the top; the Vicky rear has what's called a "bustle", a protrusion of the lower body away from the rear window.Inside, there's slightly more room in the rear seat in a Tudor than a Vicky.
----------
Murray (and Briggs) made 3-window Fordor sedans in 1931 in 2 models and 2 designs.The two models were the Standard Fordor and the Town Sedan.The two designs were straight windshield and slant windshield.The slantwindshield Fordors had identical bodies, and the side windows were not arched at the top like earlier Murray Fordors.

Hope this helps.
