Default Re: Early to mid 1928 Tudor Sedans out there?

I have a August 20, 1928 Tudor that was built in Chicago. I have owned it for over 40 years. What do you need to know? Mine was very original when I purchased it in 1970.....

Steve my February 14 1928 2 door sedan 24981 was at Niagara Falls. The original interior looks like it would have in 1940.The only ware is at the left foot rest .I know i can answer your early 1928 questions .

When the new judging standards came out I compared my Tudor to about 700 period correct items listed. My conclusion is that my car is not what someone assumes the early A should be it's the original. It had points plugs condenser fan belt replaced I still have the original except for the plugs. The glass was replaced along with the channels and windshield rubber to get a better score at Gettysburg. The plating was done over 30 years ago but not installed until 2014 when the car was brought out of a 57 year rest . The car was brush painted in the early 1950s the hood and cowl had been stripped to bare metal. I had the car repainted. The original top moldings were removed and top was secured with tape . I replaced the top . The interior was only used until March 1928 in great condition still has the original strings on the rear shade. The only thing inside not original is the door check straps . Steve whatever your question is I can provide your answer
