Default Re: Newbie to Model A's

Welcome Bill,

Since you have restored Mustangs you will have the skills to work on an A. Albeit, some things will be slightly different. But what do yo want to do with the car? Long/short tours/parades/kids/grandkids will all play into the answer. Coupes are great for two people inside and two ADULTS in the rumble seat-there is no lock to keep it open in a collision. And very little trunk space for long trips. Room? Go for a sedan there is plenty. Although the 28-early 31 Fordoors all have wood bodies so be careful.

For the steering wheel, I think you are referring to the 'fat man' steering wheel. It will flip up so that the 'larger girthed' people can get in. Not sure where to send you to look for one other than Ebay.

Mike
