That POS is no more a Model A than I am! Over here, for a car to be called any particular model, 5 of the 7 major components must be from that model and the other 2 must be period correct. The 7 components are:
Front end
Chassis
Engine
Gearbox
Rear end
steering column
Radiator
It's a BIG stretch to call that a Model A

Before marriage there were several girls I was hoping would be period correct

I suspected there might be purist flak so my apologies for posting something so radical & out of the box .

To each his own, !Tudoor. You may like it but it's not for me. If we were all the same, the world would be boring but peaceful.

I'm sure there are folks who would love that car, as for me, I'll stay with my Model A
But thanks for sharing, always like seeing other cars and car types

They can be , especially if they're too far away to personally look at (ask me how I know )
But the 31 tudoor seller I wired $ to last yr w/o seeing the car was an exception --a happy one ! It is the 1st stock A I've had since I was about 12 that I ripped around our local dirt roads in after tearing the body off while becoming a nubee mechanic .
