Edelbrock Special - 2B

 

48 Merc 59AB!! Put thousands of miles on them in my 34 and 37 Fords in HS from 57-62. (HS54-58)

Mine, when I owned it!

 

I’ve always had a soft spot for Bud Bryan’s.

 

The unfinished '30 Ford Coupe and 8BA in my shop. It got sidetracked while I built the '49 Ford Bonneville car. Now that the '49 is "finished" (yeah right) and I'm retiring in 8 days, the coupe is gonna start getting attention......

 

Definitely my all time favorite!

 

...well this is easy !!



My fav is most definitely The Bart Root Roadster. I won't go on and on about it... I'm sure ya'll out there know so much more than I, and will chime in.
I will say that a billion years ago when I tried The Insta( until I quit the madness ), I posted a pic of "Hell'on Wheels" feat. one of the many awesome Root pics that I have collected of Bart's wife driving a course and most obviosly a play on Sir Paul's tune... this moment exceeded my "LIKES" expectations.

Wow... a short story from the wordy dork... weird ?!?

 

Chevrolet 427..

 

Don't know who's this is, but if a Model A roadster looks something like this, it's gotta be one of my favorites. Clean and simple. And I've always loved the split-V swept-back Hallock-style windshields.
Man... I'd be like...

 

There is no equal. That is "the" AV-8. Ol' Blue is a distant second ( no offense Mike), but Bud's will always be the top of the heap for me.

It's amazing how many people on here can't decipher the heading of this thread.

Came across this several years ago. One of my favorites for sure. Love the look and stance...

 

Hard to beat

That number 5 entry (4th roadster from the left) at the 1950 Capital Auto Club show in Sacramento sure looks sweet.....That's Buck's roadster on the right with the Kilmonts brakes.....

 

The AV8 has a soft spot with me, I am partial to this one because I had part in building it but the opening article of the thread is top notch.

 

The Bud Bryan-built '29 A-V8 last owned by Julian Alvarez. Miss you, Jewels !

 

"A-V8" is typically a Model A roadster with a flathead V-8.

 

ALL of them........

 

This One Screams Tradition...

 

Exactly!

 

LOL... easy mistake to make.

JB is asking for your favorite Model A. Flathead V8 powered. Typically, a roadster. Most likely, on a Model A frame.
Referred to as an "A-V8"

Not your favorite... "a V8" engine. You passed that thread about a hundred miles back. And you can't get there from here. No gas stations.
Good luck. LOL

 

Okay...

I digress, as I realized I did rattle on by way of photographically featuring an off-topic "All-Time Favourite A-V8"... completely forgetting the continued argument of '32 frame V-8 v. '28-'31 frame V-8.

So... (while I take a break from sew) Here is my correct favourite all-time A-V8 !!



On a Model A frame with an early flattie and the best windscreen ever. And it is, perhaps, a lot more reflective of WHO DID( as history was just yesterday and lasts forever) AND IN THE NOW build a perfect traditional and ageless killer Hot Rod ...an A-V8 Hot Rod !

Pat Pryor ....your awesome, no matter what The Tim Sutton Gang says about ya on your axle bell. ha ha ha

(and a side note... THANKS to all who have Birthday wished me as I double-nickeled today !! sooooo many to thank back, as it was a warm fuzzy way S2 start my December 11th B-Day)

 

So not a typical 327 motor wouldn’t qualify? Ok Got it thanks for clearing the air

I suppose my all time favorite would be Bluey, Mike Bishops 29 roadster
