I don’t see a single Model A part on that rod. What makes it a Model A ?

That's about as much a Model A as I am. Talk about deceptive advertising!

A model A on paper only. Not my choice but others may well differ.

this unholy mess started out as a '32 Sport Coupe.

someone's ignorance caused it to be called a Model A.

Last summer I saw a Bucket T with historic license plates on it. I asked the owner what part of the car was a model T. He said "just the title" hence the historic plates.

Ford did manufacture some Sport Coupes in 1932 but not a lot of them. Their popularity sort of dropped off with the stock market back then but Ford kept making them till somewhere in 1932. They only made around 3,500 of them so this is the 3-window deuce coupe that nobody talks about. Their rarity will eventually make them more valuable but the Deluxe 3-window will always be more popular.

Back in the day, folks didn't want them all that much so many of them ended up as funky looking hot rods and customs.

Unless I am mistaken, which happens occasionally, each cylinder has an exhaust pipe that runs to the rear of the car without interruption. This would make the tuned frequency really low and make the engine struggle at anything above idle. Probably not very drivable. For show not go.

A '32 Model A? I need that, it would go good with my '64 Chevy Model A and my '55 Toyota RoadMaster, I can tow it home with my MG F-150, I'll even park it next to my Harley Verpa 1500.
Now...where did leave my Cessna 747?

Because that's what BJ said it was... Being a 1932 is what makes it so rare...

Ford did make a few Model A's in 1932. A friend owns a late '31 pickup, built in and registered as a '32.
