I know the difference with the "full" metal roof (with insert) and full padded roof but are there more differences? And what was the thought behind the sedan & formal sedan?

Formal sedans are all about exclusivity and privacy and not intended to be owner-driven; generally at a minimum no rear quarter window and smaller rear window. Details can vary widely between makes and years but always enclosed roof over the chauffeur and may or may not have a divider window. See picture of a 1934 Eight formal sedan and compare it to the regular sedan on the same wheelbase and chassis. Also an illustration of a 1935 Eight formal sedan interior.

How about deleting your duplicate post?
