Thanks for the line up Mike...now that I can see the three together, it is looking like only one car, a Victoria Coupe, succumbed to the cutter...to make it into an ersatz 400A. Bob's points are well taken...when cars like this come up for sale, someone needs to step up to the table and put some cash down. On the other hand, it is the hot rodders who are a great source of original parts when they pull a model A apart...I just wish they would get those parts moving into the market faster before they become so rust pitted, they are of no use...

It is for sure, that nothing is going to stop those who see the beauty of the Ford Model A on top of a well engineered frame with a hot piece of iron on the the front and I certainly admire some of the designs and work...but that said, I still like mine the way Ed Timlin in dusty ol McAllen Texas taught me to make em in 1963...all original.
