Default 31 slant window at Hershey 4 sale?

There was a 31 slant window beside the overpass behind the tent with all the tools and Jacks. I've misplaced the contact info. Did anybody get a picture of it or know who has the car?
Thanks wick

I took a bunch of close-ups of certain details of that car. Especially of the rear carpet snaps, which are an unusual type that nobody seems to sell.

Could you possably send me some of the pics in a PM, I have a '31 Slant
and would have loved to see that car so I could figure out some of the finer details.
It looks completey unrestored, does anyone know if it ran and maybe stopped.
I had absolutey no interior when I got mine, so Im going by guess and by God and what some fine Barners let me in on. The internet kinda helps, but doesn't hold a candle to the real deal.

The write up indicated it was untouched and stuffed in a barn or garage for at least the owners entire 30 year marriage, widow selling had never actually seen the whole car in daylight prior to removing it from where it was being stored. Sure looked untouched to me.

It has a lawnmower gas tans tied to the radiator rods , and it was driven out at night, I wouldn't say it was untouched it has long airhorns on each side of the hood, probably some rust out where the fenders join the running boards and splash pan

I mean't a pretty honest car Kurt, not untouched in the sense no one has done anything to it at all. Interesting car though, I think. ..

Hope this helps you.

Here are some interior photos of my 1931 160B. I obtained this vehicle in 1998 with just under 60,000 original miles. The carpets are LeBaron Bonney and the remainder of the interior is original

My 160-A just left my driveway on a trailer an hour ago West bound. Best body I ever owned in twenty Model A's. Apparently a steal compared to the above slant.

Thank you for the photos, your interior looks very nice, you lucky dog you.
They should help me alot. I notice that yours has a round dome light, mine came with an oval light (not installed) did Ford use both or is the oval incorrect?
Dome light install is on my Winter todo list.

Now my Wife says your dome light looks oval to her, maybe it's just my eyes.

Yep Doug, seen these pics on your site before, in fact I go in and view them regularly. Thank you for posting and keeping them on your site.
I know I'll be back in there looking at the brake pics, steering pics and on and on.

I had an original 160A at one time but restored it as it was not good enough to keep as original or as a reference car. It had leather interior which after much research found was an option. The dome light was round like out of a coupe and located in the center of the car rather than in the rear like pictured. Had correct standard interior handles, no cowl iights and no two point garnish trim. I did take the car back as a town sedan.

BTW, if all want to debate and/or pooh-pooh the above......feel free!!! I did the archive research!

Your wife has it correct, it is oval. The 160A had a round dome light in the center of the roof with a switch on the light. The 160B and 160C have the oval dome light at the rear of the vehicle with a switch on the passenger door post.

My slant didn't have pockets on the door either. I believe it was
from upstate New York.
