A189 is thread drift, but the discussion can be reprised beginning at https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...highlight=A189

I spoke with Charlie Bass a couple of years after the purchase. (Amherst Flea Market attracted all in that day.) He admitted "It was not the car I was expecting" (apparently SEVERAL upgrades along the way) but that the only thing he regretted about the purchase was he would be less likely to drive his 28-29 Station wagon and standing on the roof to pick apples.

I left the discussion about then (travel in business) but perhaps we should start another thread to reprise and pick up where the story left off?

I find the "early a's" very interesting - will never own more than a multi-disk transmission on a roll-around stand - but perhaps that is enough?
