Re: New here
Hey John, welcome to the Model A hobby. I think it's great to see younger people getting interested in these old Fords. Guys like yourself are the ones who will keep them on the road in the future.
There's a world of help and advice available here, so don't be shy about asking questions. |

Re: New here
Glad to hear you are looking for your own Model A. I can tell you I have enjoyed them for many more years that I care to confess. Sounds like you uncle has a couple of nice ones, my phaeton is a 28 but I've really enjoyed it. Of course a sedan is much more comfortable in harsh weather. Hope to see you along the Model A highway soon.

Re: New here
John,
I made this page to help people locate Model 'A's to purchase. If a link is broken let me know and I will fix it. Good luck. http://modelabasics.com/locatePurchase.htm P.S. With your uncle having two Model 'A's, I am sure he could afford to give you the phaeton. Sometimes all you have to do is ask.

Re: New here
Welcome John, keep an eye on Ebay, they come up in your area from time to time. I found a nice 29 tudor near me (on Ebay) a few years ago. I just sold it last year.
