Tell us what you have planned for it, take and post a lot of pictures and request comments on your plans. It looks like a great start whatever way you go with it. Charlie Stephens
Also keen to hear your plans for the car. A steal at $4k in my opinion. Good looking car, congratulations.
No matter what's wrong with it, you stole it, Boy!! Congratulations!! Holy Moley!! I think that car was MEANT to be yours; you must be doing something ( or everything) right. Leave it stock and drive it a while; don't do anything radical to the old girl. ( well, maybe some '35 wires and a 3" chop??) Thanks for the pics- keep 'em coming ( and BTW, there's nothing wrong with the brakes you can't fix)
Check out my favourite Tudor build for inspiration. Its a 28, not a 30, but you may enjoy reading 12 pages of cool. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/shanes-1928-sedan-thread.868245/
Excellent car for the $$$. Mike Bowling, you made my day with the jackstands on the dollies! Why didn't I think of that!!
Hey Tony, Just got back with 5 sweeeet '35 wires with 4 matched Garfield White walls 6-00-16, trim rings and caps, kind of cream yellow. Pictures tomorrow! Have fun! Tony
"I was actually initially at the dealer to look at a 1930 Rumble Seat Coupe and spotted this car sitting in the corner. Dumb luck!!" So how much were they asking for the coupe? pictures?? You scored on the Tudor, btw!!!!
Looks like a deal of a life time,I will be watching since I just bought a 31 sedan to go with my 29 coupe.
Roof or no Roof, be thankful that you bought a car that runs and drives and looks that nice for 4k. I'll give you back your 4k and you'll be back to a "No Roof". lol CONGRATS
Just picked it up off the interweb just to show you. If you want to cut one up I will trade you for my '29! And I"ll buy the wheels!
I've said this before, "It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the sawz-alls and cut-off wheels come out around here!"
The 2 door phaeton was produced in 1930-31 only. It was identified as Model 180A. There were 6174 produced. There is a lot of data on the Model A sites. With what these are worth you might consider a fiberglass one. Charlie Stephens
