I've seen 32 fords and 34's, but wondering if there are any model "A" b-ville coupes? New or from back in the day. post your pics! Something along the lines of this:
51Hg ('51Mercury) ... what do you mean by "b-ville styled"? ... are you looking for pics of Model A Coupe Bonneville Race Cars (like the pics you attached) ... or of Model A Coupe Hot Rods (street cars) that have a Bonneville/Dry Lakes "flavor" to them? ... or both?
Yep ... that was my first thought too! Here some pics of it in the '50s: ... @ the 2001 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance: ... from the June 2008 RM "Joe's Garage - The MacPherson Collection" Auction:
51Hg ... my pleasure ... and I'm glad you found & posted those pics of Kevin Lee & Lucky Burton's coupes ... both cars are gonna be bitchin' !!!!
51Hg ... That's pretty much the conclusion I came to. Last night, I went through all of my Bonneville photo albums & programs from the '60s, '70s, '80s, & '90s ... tons of '28-'29 (& a few '30-'31) Roadsters ... but I found zero pics of Model A closed cars (Coupes or Sedans) running on the Salt. As for Bonneville in the '50s ... with the exception of the Chrisman Coupe, the only other Bonneville Model A "Coupe" that comes to (my) mind is the famous Tom Cobbs '29 Roadster with a hand-fabricated removable top (so he could run in the Coupe class): Hopefully someone will chime in here and prove me wrong ... but I don't think there were many Model A Coupes run "back in the day" at Bonneville. PS: Are you contemplating building a '28-'31 coupe to run at B'ville? ... if so, which class ... Vintage Gas Coupe, Vintage Altered Coupe, Vintage Competition Coupe, or Modified Competition Coupe?
Hemi, Yea I attented the salt for the first time this year during speed week. took my father because he was the one that got me into old cars. Couldn't see going there with anyone else. Caught the bug...came home and got a hot little smallblock. Going to built a b-ville inspired model A. 51 weeks out of the year going to scare old ladies on the street. For one week race the salt. Going to start out racing the USFRA, try for the 130mph club and 150mph club to get my feet wet. Then build for SCTA? That's the plan anyway.....looking for inspiration.
