The Ford Barn

Welcom to the Barn from Sunny Southern California! We will all be interested in seening some pictures of the Model A for sure. In the meantime, that Porsche Coupe sure looks like a 1955 or 1956 vintage, with the small rear window....very nice!!

Tiny- Yes, a full time battery attendant and someone to run fresh gas through them as well. Come on over (bring your mittens though- it was 14 degrees here last night).
Pat- That must be quite a shop you run. I'm pretty sure this Buick is a Super, it's the one with the factory dual carb setup on the straight eight.
Terry- Yep, it's an early A super with the little beehive taillights.

My brother and I both work in hospitality, so December is Very busy for each of us. I went over to use some equipment in Dad's shop last night (upgrading the Christmas tree stand) and snapped a couple of lousy pics of the "A". Sorry, the Cole is in a different building and I didn't have the key for it so pics of that one will have to come later.
I thought the car was a '29 but am not certain. I also took a pic of a set of wheels that are probably for it but again, that is a guess on my part. I really am not knowledgeable, at all, on these cars.

that looks like a 29 tudor, but the wheels look like 19's, which are for 30/31

The wheels are 21" with the rolled lip, but must have some kind of stuffing that resembles the 19" hub caps, probably a cover for painting the wheels.

Welcome! It looks like someone has scratched the DS firewall in the area where the Mfg date would be stamped. Take a look there next time you're at the car; that will tell you what year it is.
