: Not to splitting hairs but a 155B is a Briggs Town Sedan not a Town Car.I wouldn't want to get someone's hopes up.(Town Sedans are nice though, I have a 155A Murray '29)
John is correct, a town sedan and a town car are two completely different animals.Town Sedans are relatively plentiful and can be found in most of the usual places you would find antique cars for sale.The town car on the other hand is VERY rare.Only 1000+ were built and very few remain today.That's why a Town Car that was used for touring made such a commotion at the Rochester and Toronto conventions.I was told the owner paid $55K for the car.Now that's quite a car to be used as a driver!
If you really want a Town Car you might want to contact the Town Car Society at 197 Amity Street, Amherst, MA 01002
