Once in a while you see the "come hither...
...and frequently it's a Model A Ford.
This weekend in Manchester, NH This seems to be an estate sale, not an auction. I suspect they're taking offers. More on this including the in-town Manchester NH location at http://www.nhestatesales.com/estates/sale-138.html Sale Friday May 9 and Saturday May 10. No vested interest other than a curious mindset - and hate to see a project set aside in the leaves. In 1965 this one was in the parade with an American flag attached to it's radiator cap. Joe K

Re: Once in a while you see the "come hither...
I can't believe people are still letting Model A's deteriorate like this. Isn't anyone paying attention?

And the fabric top which must be made 'custom' to match a chop adds considerably to the cost. And most of the casual rodders are more skilled and talented with an acetylene torch than a sewing machine. Still, the Landau Irons (does this have?) add to a Rod "cachet." Gosh Tom. I hadn't thought of "Rod" until you mentioned it. Now you've ruined my whole day. This is not far from the gentleman in Manchester from whom I bought a Gordon Smith AC head. HE would take a restorers interest in it. And as a retired owner of a body shop he has the skills to do this up right. I hope he sees it. Joe K

Re: Once in a while you see the "come hither...
When I looked at that car many years ago it was not for sale.It pretty much looked the same as it does now.If I remember right it came out of a barn in Vermont that had fallen in on it,and had been kind of open to the weather for years before that.When I looked at it the owner had bought it to rescue it,and it was under cover at that time.As it was not for sale I didn't give it much of a look over.
