Looks good!!! Except for the cowl lights, it reminds me of my daughters coupe that I had for many years.

Yo, Family,
You're way too kind! The only "pickin" I got was the cowl lights, they were on when I got it.
Dum, Dee, Dum, Dum, I FINALLY learned to post pics! Geez! that's harder than keeping My "A" running good. Bill W.

Don't worry about them pickin on you for Cowl Lights. Whether it had them when it rolled off the factory floor or not, I think that they belong.

I'm a blessed man, you even rememberd my dog's name! Naw! Buster missed Minerva, had to sell it a coupla' months before I got him. He gets in "VERMIN," My Avatar '29 to keep the rats & mice out. He's a show quality Rat Terrier & bed buddy. Bill W.

Yo, Dudley,
As you well know, "CORRECT" is however Ole' Bill wants to do it! Who else would name their '29, "VERMIN?" and who else would sleep with a dog called a rat terrier? Life is good! Bill W.

Nothing quite as pretty as an all-black car. The red wheels remind me of what the majority of A's looked like in the '50s. only not as pretty... dull black coupes with oxidized red wheels. The working man's second car. Very nice car, Bill, but I am partial to black coupes... you have good taste.
