A and jeep
Looks like a deuce-and-a-half approaching, too

Re: A and jeep
Do all A’s lean that far when turning? The front right tire looks to be rubbing the fender

Re: A and jeep
Could be wrong but it looks to me like later wheels and tires...

Re: A and jeep
Left front and right rear look like A but right front does look like a later (smaller) wheel and tire. If so, that could explain the lean. I'm guessing pic is WW2 or later. If so, coupe would be 10+ years old - springs, shocks, etc might be worn.

Re: A and jeep
Did WWII save the Model A? People were no longer buying cars with running boards. Most dealers wouldn't offer much on an A for trade in value so many were kept as a 2nd car - giving the wife a car to run errands. WWII hits and those newer cars get worse gas mileage they use tires at a faster rate etc. That old A turns out to be a good alternative to use rather than sending it to a scrap metal drive. When soldiers get home they need a car ASAP and buy someone's old A or if they had 2 cars they start hot rodding or restoring that A with new skills learned in the military.
