The weirdest Model A I have ever seen!
 

On eBay at the moment advertised as a Model A:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1929-Nash-40...9bOFtL&vxp=mtr
It irritates me that people who have a hot rodded Model A advertise it as a Model A even though it is nothing like a Model A. V8 engine, Automatic Transmission, Air Cond, substitute rear end and chassis, lowered etc etc. About all that is Model A are maybe a few panels.:confused:
What do others think?

I think your link is bd. This is for a 29 Nash.

looks like a Nash from here. Maybe it was morphed from a hot rodded Model A

The description says "similar to a Model A"

LOL about as similar as a school bus


Nashes were heavier cars, and that one is in tough shape

That Nash is the ugliest Model A that I've ever seen. However, from the inside you can see that it has a bike "in the trunk". Nice touch.

Seriously, I really like looking at other makes from the Model A era. There are some pretty nice looking ones, but when I saw my first Model A in the early 60's I knew that a Model A was the one for me...that is until I found that, even at 6'4", I can drive an early V-8 Ford comfortably.

Hot Rods in the Model A section of places like autotrader and craigslist definitely made it more difficult to search for a car. I wish there were a filter for hot rods. Speaking of Autotrader...what's with "Classic Car Deals" doing 3rd party sales of rustbuckets for way too much money?

Often people will list with key words like Model T or Model A someplace in the title to get more viewers.

We understand why they do it but it still annoys me. Maybe honesty in advertising laws are more lax over there?

Maybe the ad read different here then there, but the only thing I see are the words "simular to modal A ford sedan". Other then that is is being sold as a Nash.

Hey, it has a bicycle in the trunk to get you home. ;-) Chap
