Hot Rods Picked up a new model a and found a awesome 50s salvage along the way

What a gem! And nice find on the way home too!

 

Nice find.
Stupid me passed up an original owner 30 A coupe. Last driven in 57 and stored in a barn. Somebody else bought it.

 

awesome score!

 

Haven't seen one that complete and unrestored in a very long time! Nice find!

 

and the yard - is that Barton's place up highway 75 north from Dallas ? - my dad use to vist his place when he was parts hunting for folks....

 

here is some pics of the junk in my trunk some I know and some I have no clue




what is this used for its thick rope like material







what are these

look like some kind of bushing there about 5" long

 

king pin bushings? looks like to me

 

there thick are they for the engine as most the stuff I found was for the engine

 

cool find---

 

Not that it makes a big difference,but looking at the rad. shell,this is a 1930 A.

 

Also, from the view of the dash, it looks like an oval speedometer, but the light and shadows can play tricks on the eye. If its oval, likely a '30. That's a plus, because of the tripmeter in addition to an odometer. Love those A-bones!

 

31 has one piece side splash aprons 30 has 2 piece. Probably 31 with 30 shell.

 

I see some sweepers in your hand, those long black things had a rubber sweeper on them and installed under the door garnish to and acted as a seal for the window.

 

Leave the fenders and boards on an' just drive an' ENJOY it, as is!

 

neet stuff. how come the grass is not green in your pix? you guys having a drought?

 

very nice find..........
