Here is another interesting picture. Until 1919 all Fords where imported by a Copenhagen car dealer F. Bülow & Co. Some of these may have come from Manchester, while others was from the US.

As the Town Sedans in general was rare, I have wondered if any of them made it to Denmark.

Now here is a picture I just found of what I believe is a Model T Town sedan:



The picture is taken in 1915 but the car may not be new. Location is Smallegade on Frederiksberg. At first I thought it was a van belonging to the shop, but at closer look I think it is a Town Sedan driving as a cap.

Here is a close up of the car:



It may not be a US or UK body - it might as well be a local body.

Oh yes - and how does Smallegade look today?
Well - Frederiksberg got a new Town Hall in 1942 - 53 (Wartime) and neede a parking lot for visitors and employees:



And a busstop! ;-)

I'm not much help with the car question, Michael, but like I've mentioned on here before, I sure enjoy the before and after pics.

Thanks for posting.

Those big ads at bus stops must be everywhere. They look like that here too.

It appears to be a US made body, 1911 - 12. Like this:

1911 Town car - headlights were not standard, and neither were front doors. Brake lever brass plated early in the model year, then black. This illustration from the 1911 catalogue actually shows a 1910 Town car:


1912 Town car - headlights now standard, and removable front doors were included. Body same as 1911 except the doors:
