31 model a coupe barn find

Found this in Iowa in a farmers machine shed along with a 26 T Coupe and a 23 T Touring. Wheels were crap so I put the 35 wires with WW on to roll it out onto the trailer. My son cleaned it up before I could get some good barn find dust pictures.

Did the engine come with it? Would be nice if it did. Good solid looking standard coupe.

Looks like a good car. What are your plans?

There are plenty more out there to be found.

It's as if every town has a few hidden away.

Did not come with an engine, but I have a friend who has a B motor I am trying to buy.

It sure looks like its all there. It will make a nice restoration of a very popular Model A Body,

My buddy has the Coupe in his garage for now as he ponders trading me for his Center Door, and the Touring went to a local collector.

Looks solid. I'm still looking for my once in a lifetime barn find. Good luck!

the tires look a little ballooned but I really like the look. I made my own upholstery out of rhino canvas and sew foam. saved a ton. It would have been easier to have a canvas shop sew the long lines. and since I had near 0 sewing experience. I didnt sew the corners of the seat I just folded them like a present and tacked them tight. I think I have a picture that will show what im talking about. ill post if I find it.

get a set of these and you will be surprised on what you can do to those fender dents. i havent used the dimpled shrink hammers but those dollies are the real getter my fenders were in similar shape. https://www.harborfreight.com/body-a...-pc-63259.html

I believe this is the first time I've ever heard the term "hand anvils", I've always known them as "dollies".

Got my 1921 Center Door Doctors Coupe, so I am moving this one along to the For Sale Forum.

Thought I posted it here as well at a lower price, should be restored, too nice to cut up.
