Default New Model A Roadster

Funny how things happen with old cars. I had a tile man drop by to give me an estimate. He saw my Model A and told me about a friend who had on for sale. I was interested. We called the man and within an hour it was home in my garage. This one was sitting in his garage in my home town for years. I just thought I knew about every car in town.001 (640x480).jpg

AMEN on the WW's. Check out the period photos - very few (if any) WW's.

Other than that - Happy Belated New Years everyone!

I agree the white walls need to go, but with the cost of tires I may run them for this summer. A photo of my 30 sedan with black wheels and tires, I think it looks the best.

Tim

I did not mean to be so harsh about the tires and I should congratulate you and your family on your "new Ford". She is a sweet ride and should provide even more enjoyment for all when you are out on the road.

Come on summer! Enjoy this little gem my friend -
