Let's see some Model A's from your past. Here are two of mine. . I briefly owned this gem in the early 2000's. I did nothing but got it running. I think it has a fantastic look. I bought it out of an Auto Trader publication. I enjoyed it and never found prior information about it. I sure looks like it came from California. I sold it locally at La Grave field swap meet in Fort Worth and never saw it again. Maybe around 2004. Sure would like to see a picture of it from now or in the past.
I'm the kid in the picture. This was my first ride in a model a or any old car. This car set my old car infatuation in motion. I was never the same after a ride in it. My cousin and I in Kansas in the late 60's.
Well it's past and present. Dad drug the body out of a field in the 80s, started it and gave it to me to build in the 90s.
So built this from piles of parts... It was sold, basterdized badly and was beat on very hard, chassis and suspension has been flawless, drivetrains not so much. That 440 Mopar was fun while I owned it. Sold it to buy this survivor... Was too nice to hotrod... So sold it, have the opportunity to buy back and probably going to for resale to help out the estate for them. Sold it and got out of As for a while... Then bought this and built it... Survivor hotrod with 8ba in it, motor was in pieces when I bought it, got it home and valve job later with parts put back on, she ran... So then body worked it, backyard painted it and drove it for a few months and sold it... Then wanted a hopped up banger car, so Sold that Tudor and bought this coupe that I currently own...
My old roadster in 1959. Built in a college shop class. 296" flathead built by Bonneville racer George Imaizumi. Mick
My dad in 1930 Me in 1964 Both cars 1965 1967, mol A/SR Late 1990’s Cabriolet again recently Had Model A’s most all my life.
This is a model A from my past. I bought this from my uncle in ‘89 as a bad Milner tribute. Tore it down winter of ‘90 and got it back together to make Oklahoma City in ‘91 with the frame painted and body in primer. Painted it that fall. It went through a couple carb setups and wheel colors. Sold it in ‘95 at BTT50’s after finishing my Willy’s pickup. never saw it again.
Been in the family since about 1960. I remember playing in the dirt driveway when my dad was building it (the first time). I've wanted it since I was 5 years old.
I've had 4 Model A's and enjoyed all of them, my gray 29 is stock; the tan 28 was powered by a V8 60 flathead; the pickup had a B banger in it with a Winfield head, Ansen manifold with a 94, Mallory distributor and a header and the Sport coupe has a hopped up 8BA in it. I sold the 28 in 1997, the pickup in 2019 and still have the other two.
Here is one I had before the Y Brock Coupe, first photo is how it looked the day I brought it home as the previous owner's unfinished project and how it turned out after a year of sporadic work on it. I still regret selling it.
.Thank you for this thread, KKrod. My father cranked me up in '54. .<-----<Need to study pix posting. That's me on the tow bar. ( 1968 ) I just love 'em. Any model any style, except overly chopped. I love 'em. Spent most of my school/time doodling A coupes. This thread is makin' me NUTS.
Only Model A I ever got drivable. Didn't want to cut it up since it was so original so I sold it to a restorer.
My one and only, someone's old hot rod with split bones, juice brakes, Hurst mount, reversed wheels, chopped shell etc. Looking back I should've built it but really didn't know what I had, I paid $400 bucks for it and a month later I was offered $800, so it went down the road. Oh wait, I did own one other, an old dirt Track car.
