First A
My first job was at restoration shop, mostly for Fords. I have always wanted a A and after reading up, checking out numerous cars I finally pulled the trigger today. It’s a nice driver and plan to keep it as original as possible. Wish me luck and look forward to reading and posting as I work on it.

Re: First A
I concur with Jackson, the more they are driven the more dependable they become.

Re: First A
There is a car very similar on Instagram for sale right now. The owner is threatening to chop it if it doesn't sell. I laugh at those ads where they threaten to chop a car if they can't sell it. Why is it for sale? Go ahead and chop it ya moron. I bet they are real nice folks to deal with too.

Re: First A
Nice looking car, body looks straight and clean. What's the story on the 1976 Michigan plate?
