Congratulations on bringing the family together again! I hope you are able to spend many, many, many years with them. Oh, make sure to get them out and exercise both of them on a regular basis. ✌️😃👍
Hello Marilyn, I am hanging 😞 my head in shame, I didn't see your post ... please forgive🙏. I am new at this TH-cam stuff, hopefully I will get a handle on it soon so I won't embarrass myself again. You are so right, the sound of a Model A is like no other car. Blessings
Black and Tan... Gorgeous Car..... beautiful condition too... u gonna have alot o' fun!! My best friend has a 29 Phaeton. I see the pickup in the background too...
Yep ... that's Frankie my 28, she's coming along really well. Phaetons are a wonderful car. Do you get out in her offen? Can't wait to get DD out on the road but got some stuff to fix first, too cold at the moment 27 degrees but things will warm up soon. Take care and blessings.
Hi Andrew, Thanks, the truck is kinda cool. I'm not going to paint her up perdy cause I like her the way she is, a survivor. Doing quite a bit of fixin' on the coupe', a bit more than I thought I would have to do but I think she's worth it. I am almost finished with what I know about so now it's get her out and about and see how she does. I am a kinda worried about the manifold, I think it's warped. I just put in new gaskets but it looks like it isn't seated properly, I just don't want to buy a new one yet so we'll see if she "blows a gasket." 🤐Blessings
Wonderful! They sound as sane engine, compression cilinders seem to be ok, like a new car, I notice it. Greetings from 🇨🇱 Santiago, Chile SouthAmerica.
@@fordhotrod4670 Hi ... will do as long as I can. the Model A engine was used in the light aircraft "Pietenpal" back in the 30's because of it's torque. Great little plane, I use to fly an RC Pietenpal when my eyes could take looking up in the sky for 15 minutes lol. blessings Model A'r doin' his thing,
Thyank you. I really like the colour also. She is a really nice car as I am finding out as I go through her getting all things in order for the road. I should have another video out soon. Blessings,
Back in 1963 my friend bought a Model A from an old lady. He had seen a for sale sign on it and had asked her how much she wanted. She said to make an offer. She handed him the keys and he jumped in to start it. out of sight he yanked the gearshift lever up and back. It hung at a crazy angle and he showed her it wouldn't go into gear and then offered $100. She was shocked that it was broken but went for the deal. He told me this the next day when he drove it over to my house to brag about his "bargain". I told him what an ass#%&* he was and lost all respect for him. I mention this because this video brought this memory back to me.
Hi there, yes this person was not very nice nor honorable. Unfortunately there are people who will take advantage of someone who is vulnerable. It all comes back on them in the end. Blessings
Okay Clint. I watched that Steve Mitchell video and I see what you mean. There's a subtle difference in the bend at the bottom of the lever. But that bend is covered by the rubber boot so it's no wonder that I missed it at first. And I certainly learned a few things from watching Steve's video. For one thing, I always thought the reason why my A would tend to pop out of second gear on a long hill was because of a worn cluster gear. If it's because of worn parts in the shifter tower, that would be a heck of a lot easier to rebuild than changing the cluster gear, and probably less expensive. The rare gearshift knob which I have is called a mushroom knob since it sort of resembles a mushroom. As I recall, it was only used on early '30 As. Good to hear that you've spent some time north of the border and know something about Canadian made Model As. My car actually came from Alberta before I bought it locally. In '64, I still needed a lot of help from my mother to afford the $300 I paid for it. To my old man, it was just junk. If I had your email address, maybe we could correspond more that way.
Hi Jim, I spent about 40 years in Canada. I was a Principal dancer wtih the National Ballet of Canadia, and later a teacher in Alberta. My daught lives in Alberta. Now that you mention it I seem to remember seeing one of those mushroom knobs at one point in my travels, thanks for bring it back to memory. I remember the prices of Model A's in the past and wish I had bought every one I found but being a dancer I had to travel all over and move so many time I had to part with them. I have alway been able to fine one at some point after a move but you never forget the little jem you left behind. crothwell256@gmail.com Blessings, Model A'r doin' his thing ...
Cool man I got a A 30 also was only body and chassis nothing else, still in the process of putting it together because it was in parts with body damage ,sad condition but coming good now 😊
Nice looking 1930 Standard Coupe. Interior looks stock and in great shape. Hope you take a few moments to adjust the headlights - they need re-aiming :)
You betcha ... got LED head light, tail and stop light ordered. DD is in really good shape from what I can tell at the moment and stock all the way. It's 27 degrees outside at the moment and the garage is not heated so things are on hold for a coupe of days. You can be sure I'll be right back at it when it gets to 50 which should be Thurs. I plan to take some videos of the under carriage, really beautiful. Take care and blessings,
It would be so boss to record the sound of that engine and wire it to external speakers on my Toyota Matrix. I wish I could go for a ride with you in your new jewel. It is outstanding.
Hi Harvey, thanks ... I have put her together as a 28 with the parts I had and what I could find. I like the look of a survivor vehicular or one in mid restoration. blessings
@@moo.johnference869 Thanks John, I don't plan on changing her look except if I have to do some rust prevention, in which case I might paint the running boards with black primer or Rust-Oleum. I don't have to worry about people touching her or small rock chips and besides, I REALLY like the mid restoration look. Thanks for the comment, blessings
Hi Jim, I know ... the car was restored about twenty years ago from what I figure. The colour is, I believe, Old Ivory from the colour charts I could find on the internet. The belt, well, is anyones guess. I am really starting to like it though. One of the things that sold me on her is she has a trunk. Getting harder to find a coupe' with a trunk. For us it is more practical, there is only the two of us and you can carry lots of stuff in a trunk. blessings,
@@clintonrothwell5709 Yes, I believe that trunks have always been more popular with hot rodders especially, not that I'd say you're one. But I have it both ways with the rumble seat. When I need the extra luggage space, I can just take out the rumble seat cushions, using a blanket to protect the body.
@@jimervin1637 HI again, thanks but I found an original 1930/31 gearshift lever and it's now in the tower. A little more cleaning and fresh oil and we will see if I did it correctly lol. The guy that sold me DD put a new shifter in the trunk but the one you get from the parts dealers don't have the correct bend for the 30/31s, they are a between bent 28/29/ and 30/31.The 28/29 are straight and the 30/31s have more of a bend because the 30/31 gas tank is closer to the seats. The reproductions will work in all years. blessings, Model A'r doin' his thing ...

The gear shift lever was meant to be grasped, lifted and turned aside so you could fit three people in the front seat, the middle passenger not having that lever jabbing them....
@@clintonrothwell5709 I learned that back in 1963. You grabbed the stick down low. My friend had a 30 model Tudor. I owned a 31 Tudor back about 1967. You could get them cheap then, $600 to $1000.00 for a real nice one. I am 76 years old now and drive a 63 chevy Ive owned for 40 years.
@@caroltenge5147 Hi Carol, Well I have you beat, I'm 78 so you are a youngster. I love it, owning a 63 Chevy for 40 years, amazing.❤ I think the longest I have owned a car is about 24 years ... an 86 Fiero. I loved that car but having to move so much I had to give her up. One learns to trust a car when she has been a member of the family for so long. I bet your 63 is like a trusted friend. As I remember back my first complete body off restoration was a 28 Tudor. I found it on a farm in Canada payed under a $1000. for her. She sure was purdy. I should imagine one would have to put the gear shift back in place before driving????? Blessings
I know, am I blessed or what! I have always been a stock kinda guy however I admire the creativity which go into building them. I guess l love cars. Take care and blessings.
Hi ... I don't think I have heard that before, love to know how that is done. DD's shifter was broken at the very bottom and fell out so It was difficult to know which gear she was in as the shifter was so sloppy. blessings, Model A'r doin' his thing ...
Now you've got me wondering, Clint, about that slight bend you mentioned in a '30-'31 shifter lever. I only know that from my reference material such as my own early '30 Coupe, which I've owned since '64, it's still a straight lever, at least on Canadian made As. I also have an original Canadian owner's manual for my A (not that it came with the car) and the shift lever looks straight. I even have a judging standards book (not that I claim to have the latest edition or give a hoot about having my car judged) and it doesn't say anything about a difference in the '30-'31 shift lever. As for the gas tank, I don't know about it being a little lower for '30-'31 but I do believe Ford enlarged it a bit from a 10 gallon tank to an 11 gallon tank. So that would be one reason why the shift lever would be a little closer to the tank. But it was still straight according to my info. One thing I do know for sure, there was an earlier style shift lever knob which I have on my A instead of the round ball type. I'd have to check my reference material as to when it was used but I believe it's only for early '30 As as I recall.
HI Jim, Yes there is actually a difference. I am going to show the difference in my next video most likely tomorrow, but in the meantime you can check out this video on TH-cam ( th-cam.com/video/bp2HPOYzn1M/w-d-xo.html ) " How to rebuild Ford Model A shift tower with Steve Mitchell" where the gentelman shows the two shifter levers. I didn't know there was a different shifter knob, I sure would like to check that out. My first Coupe' was when I lived in Nanton, Alberta ... there is a short video of BonBon on my channel, you can see in the cab shot that the shifter has a bend at the very bottom where it goes into the tower. Does your lever have that bend? She was a Canadian built car, gota love those Robertson screws. I used them in Frankie when I was installing the wood. Man! I am impressed that you have owned your Coupe' since 1964, I think that is fantastic! good for you my friend. Thank so much for your post, blessings. Model A'r doin' his thing ...
Hi ... so happy you saw the video of DD. Yes she was restored about 20 years ago but only has a little over 1400 hundred mile on her. I just have to fix stuff that was let go, not a big deal. The bigest fix is the gear shift lever which broke at the base. I already have the shifting tower out and the broken shifter out so I am ready to put in the new one which is an original one from a 1930/31. I have a couple of parts ordered and they should be here in a couple of days. I can't wait to take her around the block. Cliinton Model A'r doin' his thing ...
So I'm completely jealous again! Great find sir,she sounds awesome as a A should. Patience is up on blocke for now with ourN.H.Weather.Looking forward to your new adventure with DD.BLESS YOU ENJOY AND BE SAFE.
@@deanjernstrom3760 What model is Patience? I love to hear about others treasures. It's cold hear at the moment, 27 degrees. It is suppose to climb to 50ish by Thurs. so out in the garage to continue my examination and more videos. Take care and blessings.
Patients is a 28 Tudor.We got her a year ago this past July 4.Its our 1st A .Shes in nice condition,I wouldn't call it great.She had some things done December 1963.I found some crumpled up inside some body work.Last winter i pulled most of the underside out ,removed the interior and ground a good 75% of the chassis.It took 3500psi pressure washing to remove the built up grease from the underside Engine had been rebuilt before we got it.New radiator,brakes ,e- brake,drums,brake rods,you name it I replaced it.Thamks for your videos.Be safe .THX DEAN J.
@@deanjernstrom3760 I seems like you did a lot of work on her to make her your own, but isn't it rewarding when your get into Patients and drive her down the road, nothing like it. Do you post any videos? sure would love to see them. Keep up the good work or should I say "pleasure". You also my friend, "be safe". Blessings Model A'r doin' his thing .........................
Hi there ... The Model A's were produced with three speed forward and one reverse transmission and no synchromesh. The Model T has a planetary transmission which is the beginning of an automatic transmission. it also had planetary gears in the stearing. Blessings,
@@dallen3390 Hi ... that is my intent for the coupe' I just bought "DD". I can fix her myself so no big mechanic's bills. I got one with a trunk because as a daily driver it has far more use for me than the rumble seat setup. I am going through her at the moment, changing all the fluids, checking and servicing the brakes, putting in the LED lights and adding a third tail and stop light in the centre plus fog lamps on the front. Just making sure she is in the best shape I am able to put her in. I hope you can find what you are looking for in a Model A. They are wonderful and lots of people to help you should you need them in Model A clubs. If you're not a member of a club I would suggest you join one before buying a car. The members have a wealth of knowledge and perhaps there is a member wanting to sell his/her Model A. Blessings
I think one can get at least 60 out of a Model A but not a good idea to keep that speed for long periods of time. 30 to 45 is where most Model A's like to be driven. There are things one can do to the car to make them go faster but a stock Model A is as above. Blessings
Hi there, It is my understanding that the coupe' was produced for the professional person such as a doctors and the like. It is less expensive to build than a four door which would require more material and time. Single folks don't always want a big car which cost more to buy and run so a smaller light car would do the trick. When I was a younge man I drove sports cars. It wasn't until I worked in real estate I bought my first four door. Now as I am in my twilight years my wife and I have two door cars with a back seat that one can only fit a munchkin from the Wizard of Oz. Lighter car and more economical, well kinda, they are V8's? 🤣😂🤣 Blessings,
Hi Rick, I am all stock. I don't believe I can make Henry's cars any better than he did. If I do change anything it would be something that could be put back in minutes. I plan to put an oil filter on DD because I will be driving her quite alot and it will keep the oil cleaner. I have an alternator but not sure if I will use it. Thanks for the post, blessings.
Well, I lost over 40 lbs and now I can. When I was heavier it was a lot more difficult because the steering wheel was up against my belly and trying to put my foot on the brake while in first gear was a bit of a challenge lol🤣🤣😂 Now I have no problem so I guess one could say ... "A really good weight loss program is, get a Model A Ford" Model A'r doin' his thing
Nice car, except she's painted in the wrong colors; refer to MAFCA (Model A Ford Club of America) MODEL A FORD PAINT & FINISH GUIDE. I don't know why SO MANY Model A CAR owners INSIST on painting their cars in colors which were only used on Model A, AA and AAA TRUCKS. Wrong SOURCES, I guess.. Note- 1930 Model A Standard & Sport Coupes (45-B, 50-B) were only painted in the following colors: Andalusite Blue Lower Body/Black Upper Body and Mouldings with French Gray Pinstripes (until August 1930, after which the Pinstripes were applied in Aurora Red, Lombard Blue Lower Body/Black Upper Body and Mouldings (which replaced Andalusite Blue in September of 1930) with Hessian Blue Pinstripes, Kewanee Green Lower Body/Elkpointe Green Upper Body and Mouldings with Apple Green Pinstripes, Copra Drab Lower Body/Chicle Drab Upper Body and Mouldings with Straw Pin Stipes (the Straw Pinstripes were dropped in November 1930), Chicle Drab Lower Body/Copra Drab Upper Body and Mouldings with Straw Pinstripes (see above), Thorne Brown Lower Body/Thorne Brown Upper Body and Mouldings with Tacoma Cream Pinstripes, Black Lower Body/Black Upper Body and Mouldings with Vermillion Pinstripes until September 1930, Black Lower Body/Black Upper Body and Mouldings with Apple Green Pinstripes in October of 1930... ALL FENDERS, Frames, Wheels and Running Gear for ALL Model A Car & Truck models were painted BLACK, PERIOD. However, the Wheels could be painted in the matching color(s) of the Pinstripes if the customer so desired as an "extra cost option", AT THE DEALERS' paint shops. Deluxe Model A Coupe (45-B) had their Wheels painted in the matching Pinstripe color AT the FACTORY. Deluxe Model A Coupes (45-B) also had two additional colors to choose from, being Brewster Green Lower Body/Black Upper Body and Mouldings (available October 1930) with Apple Green Pinstripes, and Ford Maroon Lower Body/Black Upper Body and Mouldings with Vermillion Pinstripes. Neither of the Blue colors or Thorne Brown were available on the 1930 Model A Deluxe Coupes during the 1930 model-run. Maybe I'm nit-picking, but THAT'S THE WAY IT REALLY WAS...
Hi there, Thank you for the information I am sure many people will find it most interesting. I guess there are a lot of people who love the Model A and want to own and drive one but have no desire to show the car or have it judged and have a favorite color that they want to put on their favorite antique car. I didn't paint my coupe' I bought it and at first I was not sure if I would enjoy the color but as I have owned "DD" I am really starting to like the appearance. I guess it boils down to "to each his own" ... blessings
Beautiful color scheme on this A. Very sweet !
Thanks Kenny C, I really like it as well. I wasn't too sure when I saw it in the "For Sale Ad" but now it is in my garage I like it a lot.

Take care and blessings.
Congratulations!
Thank you Rederico ... blessings
The shift lever can be pulled up and moved over in a model a ford
Hi ... I don't think I have heard that before, love to know how that is done. DD's shifter was broken at the very bottom and fell out so It was difficult to know which gear she was in as the shifter was so sloppy. blessings,
Model A'r doin' his thing ...
Now you've got me wondering, Clint, about that slight bend you mentioned in a '30-'31 shifter lever. I only know that from my reference material such as my own early '30 Coupe, which I've owned since '64, it's still a straight lever, at least on Canadian made As. I also have an original Canadian owner's manual for my A (not that it came with the car) and the shift lever looks straight. I even have a judging standards book (not that I claim to have the latest edition or give a hoot about having my car judged) and it doesn't say anything about a difference in the '30-'31 shift lever. As for the gas tank, I don't know about it being a little lower for '30-'31 but I do believe Ford enlarged it a bit from a 10 gallon tank to an 11 gallon tank. So that would be one reason why the shift lever would be a little closer to the tank. But it was still straight according to my info.
One thing I do know for sure, there was an earlier style shift lever knob which I have on my A instead of the round ball type. I'd have to check my reference material as to when it was used but I believe it's only for early '30 As as I recall.
HI Jim, Yes there is actually a difference. I am going to show the difference in my next video most likely tomorrow, but in the meantime you can check out this video on TH-cam ( th-cam.com/video/bp2HPOYzn1M/w-d-xo.html ) " How to rebuild Ford Model A shift tower with Steve Mitchell" where the gentelman shows the two shifter levers.
I didn't know there was a different shifter knob, I sure would like to check that out. My first Coupe' was when I lived in Nanton, Alberta ... there is a short video of BonBon on my channel, you can see in the cab shot that the shifter has a bend at the very bottom where it goes into the tower. Does your lever have that bend? She was a Canadian built car, gota love those Robertson screws. I used them in Frankie when I was installing the wood. Man! I am impressed that you have owned your Coupe' since 1964, I think that is fantastic! good for you my friend. Thank so much for your post, blessings.

Thanks pal ... blessings
Been shopping eh. Lol
Is it a restore project ?
Nice though
Hi ... so happy you saw the video of DD. Yes she was restored about 20 years ago but only has a little over 1400 hundred mile on her. I just have to fix stuff that was let go, not a big deal. The bigest fix is the gear shift lever which broke at the base. I already have the shifting tower out and the broken shifter out so I am ready to put in the new one which is an original one from a 1930/31. I have a couple of parts ordered and they should be here in a couple of days. I can't wait to take her around the block.

Oh nice! Looking forward to seeing more my friend. Where did you find her?
Hi there, I found her in an ad, she was in Colorado Springs. She's in really good condition.
So I'm completely jealous again!
Great find sir,she sounds awesome as a A should. Patience is up on blocke for now with ourN.H.Weather.Looking forward to your new adventure with DD.BLESS YOU ENJOY AND BE SAFE.
@@deanjernstrom3760 What model is Patience? I love to hear about others treasures. It's cold hear at the moment, 27 degrees. It is suppose to climb to 50ish by Thurs. so out in the garage to continue my examination and more videos. Take care and blessings.
Patients is a 28 Tudor.We got her a year ago this past July 4.Its our 1st A .Shes in nice condition,I wouldn't call it great.She had some things done December 1963.I found some crumpled up inside some body work.Last winter i pulled most of the underside out ,removed the interior and ground a good 75% of the chassis.It took 3500psi pressure washing to remove the built up grease from the underside Engine had been rebuilt before we got it.New radiator,brakes ,e- brake,drums,brake rods,you name it I replaced it.Thamks for your videos.Be safe .THX DEAN J.
@@deanjernstrom3760 I seems like you did a lot of work on her to make her your own, but isn't it rewarding when your get into Patients and drive her down the road, nothing like it.
Do you post any videos? sure would love to see them. Keep up the good work or should I say "pleasure". You also my friend, "be safe". Blessings

I think these cars had an automatic type transmission?
Hi there ... The Model A's were produced with three speed forward and one reverse transmission and no synchromesh. The Model T has a planetary transmission which is the beginning of an automatic transmission. it also had planetary gears in the stearing.
Blessings,

Thank you so much
@@gerardomunoz4687 👍 blessings
Nice to see one that hasn't been chopped and channeled.
Hi Dallen, yep ...
@@clintonrothwell5709 Henry snd Edsel Ford's model a was undoubtedly the best vehicle of all time....I would love to find one as a daily driver
@@dallen3390 Hi ... that is my intent for the coupe' I just bought "DD". I can fix her myself so no big mechanic's bills. I got one with a trunk because as a daily driver it has far more use for me than the rumble seat setup. I am going through her at the moment, changing all the fluids, checking and servicing the brakes, putting in the LED lights and adding a third tail and stop light in the centre plus fog lamps on the front. Just making sure she is in the best shape I am able to put her in. I hope you can find what you are looking for in a Model A. They are wonderful and lots of people to help you should you need them in Model A clubs. If you're not a member of a club I would suggest you join one before buying a car. The members have a wealth of knowledge and perhaps there is a member wanting to sell his/her Model A. Blessings
How much the top speed?
I think one can get at least 60 out of a Model A but not a good idea to keep that speed for long periods of time. 30 to 45 is where most Model A's like to be driven. There are things one can do to the car to make them go faster but a stock Model A is as above.
Blessings
Aooga needs adjusting nice looking a, my brother in law has a 30 cabriolet
Hi Marilyn, lol, yep ... kinda sounds like a frog. Love the Cabriolet, such a beautiful and classie car. blessings

I don't understand why they built a car for only two people, is it for style or economy?
Hi there, It is my understanding that the coupe' was produced for the professional person such as a doctors and the like. It is less expensive to build than a four door which would require more material and time. Single folks don't always want a big car which cost more to buy and run so a smaller light car would do the trick. When I was a younge man I drove sports cars. It wasn't until I worked in real estate I bought my first four door. Now as I am in my twilight years my wife and I have two door cars with a back seat that one can only fit a munchkin from the Wizard of Oz. Lighter car and more economical, well kinda, they are V8's? 🤣😂🤣

please keep them bare stock no butchering into junk piles
Hi Rick, I am all stock. I don't believe I can make Henry's cars any better than he did. If I do change anything it would be something that could be put back in minutes. I plan to put an oil filter on DD because I will be driving her quite alot and it will keep the oil cleaner. I have an alternator but not sure if I will use it. Thanks for the post, blessings.

I don't know how you fit in Frankie?
Well, I lost over 40 lbs and now I can. When I was heavier it was a lot more difficult because the steering wheel was up against my belly and trying to put my foot on the brake while in first gear was a bit of a challenge lol🤣🤣😂 Now I have no problem so I guess one could say ... "A really good weight loss program is, get a Model A Ford"

Nice car, except she's painted in the wrong colors; refer to MAFCA (Model A Ford Club of America) MODEL A FORD PAINT & FINISH GUIDE. I don't know why SO MANY Model A CAR owners INSIST on painting their cars in colors which were only used on Model A, AA and AAA TRUCKS. Wrong SOURCES, I guess..
Note- 1930 Model A Standard & Sport Coupes (45-B, 50-B) were only painted in the following colors:
Andalusite Blue Lower Body/Black Upper Body and Mouldings with French Gray Pinstripes (until August 1930, after which the Pinstripes were applied in Aurora Red,
Lombard Blue Lower Body/Black Upper Body and Mouldings (which replaced Andalusite Blue in September of 1930) with Hessian Blue Pinstripes,
Kewanee Green Lower Body/Elkpointe Green Upper Body and Mouldings with Apple Green Pinstripes,
Copra Drab Lower Body/Chicle Drab Upper Body and Mouldings with Straw Pin Stipes (the Straw Pinstripes were dropped in November 1930),
Chicle Drab Lower Body/Copra Drab Upper Body and Mouldings with Straw Pinstripes (see above),
Thorne Brown Lower Body/Thorne Brown Upper Body and Mouldings with Tacoma Cream Pinstripes,
Black Lower Body/Black Upper Body and Mouldings with Vermillion Pinstripes until September 1930,
Black Lower Body/Black Upper Body and Mouldings with Apple Green Pinstripes in October of 1930...
ALL FENDERS, Frames, Wheels and Running Gear for ALL Model A Car & Truck models were painted BLACK, PERIOD. However, the Wheels could be painted in the matching color(s) of the Pinstripes if the customer so desired as an "extra cost option", AT THE DEALERS' paint shops.
Deluxe Model A Coupe (45-B) had their Wheels painted in the matching Pinstripe color AT the FACTORY. Deluxe Model A Coupes (45-B) also had two additional colors to choose from, being Brewster Green Lower Body/Black Upper Body and Mouldings (available October 1930) with Apple Green Pinstripes, and Ford Maroon Lower Body/Black Upper Body and Mouldings with Vermillion Pinstripes. Neither of the Blue colors or Thorne Brown were available on the 1930 Model A Deluxe Coupes during the 1930 model-run. Maybe I'm nit-picking, but THAT'S THE WAY IT REALLY WAS...
Hi there, Thank you for the information I am sure many people will find it most interesting. I guess there are a lot of people who love the Model A and want to own and drive one but have no desire to show the car or have it judged and have a favorite color that they want to put on their favorite antique car. I didn't paint my coupe' I bought it and at first I was not sure if I would enjoy the color but as I have owned "DD" I am really starting to like the appearance. I guess it boils down to "to each his own" ... blessings
