Default side view of model A with skirts

Someone emailed me and asked if I could post a side view of my A showing the Skirts. I don't remember who it was, so I hope they see it.
Thanks

The Coupe looks great. I like the thrunk vs. rumble seat and wish I had a trunk in my 45B. Gar Williams

A Milwaukee club motored up to Sturgeon Bay a few years ago, they bivouacked at the Best Western here in town. Took a snap.

Actually, I was thinking that very thing when I saw it on the license plate post!

Are those an original aftermarket accessory?

That was me that emailed you. Thanks for posting the picture! Agreed. Did you make those, or were they an aftermarket accessory?

Edit. I saw your photo album. Cool thing to make!!

Thumbs down Re: side view of model A with skirts

I guess its a matter of taste, but that is the goofiest looking thing I have ever seen on a Model A. Again, it is all in your viewpoint....my 2¢ even though I am sure you don't care about mine.

we are all allow to have our opinion. No hard feelings here. Granted some don't like the skirts but many have asked where they can get a pair. I have been looking at a way to ad skirts to the front fenders but won't be able to be full skirts because the tires would hit when turning. Have also been thinking about air bag suspenison so I can lower when crusing or parked but I have not be able to figure that out. May be someday

That makes two accessories available for the rear fenders! The other would be those cathedral kick guards, seen down under. I like the body colored luggage fence. Not your usual black. Not sure if I like the skirts best black or body color.

The skirts and luggage fence are black they just looks that way in the one picture due to the sun/lighting.
