Default Intro and a Newbe to Model A
Hi all, I am very excited about my recent purchase and am waiting for delivery. I am the new owner of a 28 Roadster. I've never had anything older than a 37 Plymouth Business coupe so this will be a learning experience. There are two items that are not original, one is a Mitchel 3 speed synchronized transmission and the other is a 6 volt alternator. The car has just gone through a nut and bolt restoration an I intend on driving it as much as I can. I look forward to learning and participating whenever I can. I am happy to be a part of this forum.

Excellent!

I live about 6 hours west of you and pass by there frequently on I-10. Give me a shout when you have the car and I will stop in help you with anything you need while I'm there.

Have fun with it!

Congratulations, I told my doctor that my Model A Coupe is better than a health insurance plan. It helps keep me alive. I live to drive and work on this car.......... A true piece of Americana.
