Please identify this plane.

I've been watching the Aviators series for years and in the underwriter's credit is an EAA spot and in that EAA spot is a shot of this plane. Can someone please identify the model? You can PM me with the answer and delete this thread right after if you wish. It's been driving me crazy for four seasons.

It's a nice looking one, no matter what it is!

some style of Piper Pacer?

edit: maybe not: I see only one spar per side....

My guess is an Aeronca Sedan based on the vertical fin shape.

It's an Aeronca Sedan, Model 15.

It's an Aeronca Sedan, Model 15.

Thanks. I'm in love.

Added: Googled "Aeronca Sedan" and found what looks like this exact plane. If it is the original sedan, it's still flying and is based in Wisconsin. How cool is that...

Used to be if you bought one down here you could sell it for pretty good profit up in Alaska.

Strut. One strut per side. Spars are inside the wing where you can't see them.

When I was learning to fly there was an Aeronca Sedan available for sale, but I couldn't afford the $6000. That was my yearly income in 1973.
