Michael -
Do you mean that '24 Coupe has an Aires muffler???

She still looks good, Michael. 'Haven't driven it much back here in Iowa, but that will change later this summer.

P.S. For the benefit of you non-Model T-owning Model A guys, there ain't no such animal as a Model T "Doctor's Coupe"! There have been raging discussions over the years on Model T websites, but I think reason has finally won out. Most people now call Model T coupes owned by a plumber a "Plumber's Coupe" or a teacher a "Teacher's Coupe", etc. So, unless a doctor owned a Model T coupe, "Doctor's Coupe" was not official Ford nomenclature. Funny how one sees "Doctor's Coupe" almost exclusively when someone is trying to sell his coupe. I guess the owner thinks that adds some prestige and value to his car? Lots of good-natured (?) give-and-take ribbing in the "Doctor's Coupe" discussions. This subject for some reason doesn't pop up on Model A websites as much as it does on Model T websites.
