That Model A is part of a carefully protected French World War II memorial! ....part of the permanent memorial to the victims of the massacre that took place during WWII in the village of Oradour-sur-Glane, France.

According to www.onewierdworld.com, "Oradour-sur-Glane was a small French village which, for reasons which are still debated, was targeted by German SS soldiers. They marched into town, bringing whoever they found on outlying farms with them, and gathered the townspeople together in the town’s central area; they then took the men, in six groups, to various garages and barns in the town, while the women and children were directed inside the church. The men were then gunned down and the church was set on fire. All told, 642 people died. After the war, then-president Charles de Gaulle decreed that the village was to be left as it was as a permanent memorial to the victims of the massacre."

This Model A is part of that permanent memorial and is still in the village.



Lest we forget,

Can you still get an upturned 5 gallon bucket in there to sit on? Better yet get two and take your friends for a Virtual Reality cruise. Chap

Back to your original question that no one answered "where do I start".

You must do a body off restoration to get the most out of it.
