And you might be too old to chase chicks anyway.

Re: 1931 Roadster Standard
I have a 30 standard roadster and I like the added head room because the windshield is taller then the deluxe model

Re: 1931 Roadster Standard
I may have looked at this car a few years ago.It was in a storage trailer,body was sitting on the frame,the fenders and doors were not on it at the time.I do remember the top irons were there though.It wasn't a collection of parts,it was a car that had been taken apart.The engine had been done by Knight engineering in Rowley Mass,and never fired.I think the owner was still alive at the time,but was near the end.They wanted to sell it before he passed to save the hassle of dealing with it later.Then the owner passed and it was all put on hold.Then again it could be a completely different car.Last I heard the one I looked at was in the Litchfield area.I looked at it with somebody that liked mine and wanted one like it.He passed on it because he didn't want to build a car from scratch.

Is Knight still around? Even back forty or so years ago, to have Knight do a balanced Model A Ford engine was expensive.

Re: 1931 Roadster Standard
I'm thinking Knight closed up between 15-20 years ago.I remember they had an ad in Hemmings for 365 engine cores to sell.The guy I used for babbit over in Claremont had over 600 engines in his barns before he died.The barn was up the road from his shop,and if strangers were asking if he had any engines to sell he would send them up there,telling them to take a look and see if they could find one in there.It was quite a sight to see nothing but engines as far as you could see in that dark barn.
