During the Ford Model A production run, Ford saw increasing demands for closed body styles. Four door sedans were becoming one of the most popular styles, and Ford relied on two outside coachbuilders for this type. Murray and Briggs both built standard "Fordor" models with subtle styling differences. The Murray models can be differentiated by the arching side windows. This is one of the few instances in Ford history when an outside coachbuilder was relied upon for such a popular model. Deluxe model town sedans were also available as well as special padded roof variants colloquially referred to as "leather backs". These higher priced models were fitted with imitation leather tops to give them a more formal and expensive look. Today, these models are rare and desired among collectors for their distinctive and handsome looks.
