Van, are you sure the 34 trade in was a 1102 town car? The only bodies available on the 1102 chassis (141" wb) were a 5-7 passenger sedan (#714) and the limousine version (with divider window), #715. There was no town car listed as such in 1934 on the Eight or Super Eight, but the formal sedan in the Eight model (#712) was on the 1101 (136" wb) chassis. Perhaps the use of the term "town car" was being used in error?

Of course it could have been a custom body. There was a town car listed in 1934, but a Dietrich on the 1108 (Twelve) chassis.

The current PAC directory does not list any #712s surviving but I believe there is at least one down in VA.
