    Thanks for posting.
     
  2. They're cheaper and more available than 32s-34s. If it weren't for Model As, 80% of us wouldn't have hot rods/projects. I would hands down take a 32-33-34 over an A any day.

    I have an unmolested 31 coupe I bought in California
    a few years back. It is tucked away in my shop needing
    some motor attention.(knocks, really knocks) My
    son never really paid it much attention. He is police
    offer in New Orleans. Recently he encountered the
    president and several members of the New Orleans A's Club. they are in his district and invited him to stop by their gathering garage. Now he is all about getting the
    A up and running! I told him to get after it, as I just do
    not have the time. I hope he pursues the repairs and
    takes the coupe and enjoys it. I did trailer it from Pismo Beach to New Orleans. No one here gave it a second glance, but I like it a lot.

    78, old lady 76, still enjoy road trips in the coupe. We are not little people but not oversize either and we are very comfortable. All in the mind, I guess.

    thanks, the one from 48stude’s post is definitely worthy, so I guess that makes 2 now……….:D
    Seriously though, some beautiful cars on this thread, and more interesting is the differing styles of Henry’s little 4 cylinder, still in use at 90 plus years old !
    bttt, so others can enjoy this thread !

    FB_IMG_1678904763588.jpg IMG_0283.JPG I had a 30 coupe in 1969, sold it, regretted it, 30 years later I built this 29 as a highboy, 18 years later, during the covid 19 stay at home, I found and restored fenders and put them on, totally changing the look. I like all the 5 window coupes. I liked it as a highboy, and now I am much older I like it with the fenders. Especially like the 28-29 front fenders.

    @Reds 29 that is a beautiful car !
    The colour is amazing.
    The early A fenders are in my opinion the best looking fenders ever put on a car.
    Addition of fenders to yours just seems to be right !
