When the rubber hits the road! Both the sign and car are beautiful finds. Now that is how "Picking" should be done!

The hubs are what I was after on the T,wheels are shot. The engine turns over and is complete. Key is still in the switch. Coils,carb,starter,generator is all there, Engine is a 24. seller is looking for the tital,he knows its there. I made a offer on the T and he took it. $300.00 T was only 10 miles from home. This stuff is still out there,I just keep digging.

Wow, had you seen it before? How many times have you driven right past it, before you noticed it? They're still out there!

Its a copy of a Ford Agency In Mathews Va. All kinds of displays,orignal showroom pictures...and Model A's one with 16,000 miles on it. The Speedster was in the Great American Race years ago.
Still a work in progress,looking for a Moose Head and Buffalo Head.
If im not at work or home,this is where im at!

When you refer to looking for a Moose Head and Buffalo Head, just exactly what are you reffering too ? If we are thinking the same, would that Zenith sign be considered in trade for whatever ?
