How many Model A's do you have?
Model A's seem to be like potato chips, can't have just 1. So how many do you have in any of the states, restored, restoring, etc. and what are they?
I have a '28 roadster that is a "driver" should be painted, but I am having too much fun driving it right now. I also have a Fordoor that the wood is shot on and that is going to be converted to either a wood bodied wagon or huckster. Lastly, I have a complete running gear that I am hoarding for spar parts. |

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
Excellent, Thanks! So it looks like while about half have 1, 44 % have from one to 4! I knew I wasn't alone. Now I can tell my wife that I am not the only one!

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
I thank all who have replied to my "survey" so far. Looks like unless there are storage limitations, more than 1 is the norm! So I can tell the Mrs. that we don't have too many old cars. Since folks have been listing all their cars I might as well add the rest, in addition to the 28 Roadster A, 29 woodie donor Fordoor, I have a 72 VW camper that I bought in college 21 years ago and a 79 beetle convertible for the Mrs. that is in the process of getting new heater channels and floors, an 83 Harley FXRS and a 2000 Harley Roadglide. I LOVE internal combustion toys. Yes, I also love this hobby! Besides, like I tell the wife, if I'm too busy with toys, I can't get into any trouble like drinking, gambling, womanizing or (gasp) golf! (just kidding golfers!)

One fully restored 1928 Tudor AR and one parts car and AR chassis that just sold for rodder land. Too bad, it could have been restored but more $ to a rodder.

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
I currently have a 29 Special coupe that I restored in 1980 and a 1930 Standard roadster that I built from leftover parts from previous restorations using a new steel body. Last year I had four but sold two: a 31 Murray straght w.s. town sedan and a 29 tudor. Since 1980 I've restored and had 12 Model A's. These last two are the "keepers"and I enjoy them very much.

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
I feel like a person that is not carring their weight in this Model A business. I only have one 1929 A huckster. But also have a 1951 Ford 8N Tractor and a D2 Cat.

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
Time for a doodlebug up in those hills isn't it Pete? My friend built one out of a low mileage fire engine.Came out great with Lombard blue urethane and Kelsey Hays 16" wheels on front and F 250 wheels on back. He sold it for good money a few months ago and he missed it so much he's making another one. He even had that other one registered on the road in Mass.

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
I once read that the average Model A'er has three so I convinced my wife that she didn't want me to be just average. Six is the current number. Four licensed and insured, five running, and one undergoing restoration. They are pictured in my album. Gar Williams

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
You guys and gals make me feel inferior. With only one Model A huckster and none on the way, I am a slacker in this business. Guess I need to work on the wife to show her the stats on Model A owners and show her how inferior I am (she likely knows that already).

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
The survey only asked if you owned more than one Model A. Well I own 1 Model A, but also own 3 other antique vehicles, but now I have run out of garage space.

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
Well, I'm in between "A"s right now. I have owned (or is it vice/versa) a '30 Town Sedan and a '29 Phaeton I sold last year to a friend. I do have a '29 She-ever-lay coach to keep me going until I get normal again. I'm working on buying a '31 "A", but the owner is having remorse about selling it. Which I don't bame him it is a nice car.

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
I presently own one Model A, a 1928 Model AR Roadster. Bought it originally to make a street rod out of it. I truly enjoy my Mode A, that it will remain stock for as long as I own it.
I do plan on buying another Model A this year, a 30-31 sedan. The only modification that would be a must have for it, is an overdrive unit. I do have two other vintage vehicles, '41 Ford street rod and a 67 Ford F-100, daily driver that will be slightly customized when finished. |

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
I currently have none. Thats right, you read that correctly. I don't have a Model A at all.
I have such limited funds with just buying our first house and my wife building her business right now that all my money seems to go to "important" things. Right now I'm trying to track down a good running motor that needs a rebuild. My grandpa will be helping me rebuild it. He's got a chassis, in pieces, that he is going to let me restore and put the engine in. Then I'll have part of a Model A! |

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
Right now - only one, a late 31 Pickup with the steel top. This is my 3rd, but the first in over 50 years. The other 2 (31 Ambulance, 31 Fordor) went away when I was in high school and 52-53 Mercs took their place.

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
I currently have two Ford Model As. One is a 1929 60-C Fordor that is a fine-point blue ribbon winner (MARC of Excellence winner - 2010). The other one is a late 1928 roadster that is in excellent shape and is my touring car. I also have a 37 Ford coupe. With a three car garage, I am limited in acquiring additional cars.

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
Four and a half Model A's and one 48 Chev truck. A 28 Speedster (Miss E) currently under some cosmetic reconstruction). 1928 CC Pickup - almost all original and running but needs rebuilding. 1931 Deluxe Coupe - she is my daily driver. 1931 S/W Deluxe Fordor Sedan being finished now as a distance touring car - couple more weeks and she will be ready for the road. And then there is that Chassi that followed me home two month ago - next project i reckon. When the S/W is finished and running right the Coupe will go on the For Sale bolck to make room for the next project.

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
We've been blessed to have been collecting for a number of years, so at least for now, we have three that are restored: '28 roadster and '29 phaeton for summer use, and a '29 Briggs Town Sedan for winter use; we also have a '29 Mail Truck that is perhaps 60% restored, the remnants of another '29 phaeton, and three frames/running gears that could be used for future projects (along with acquired gas tanks and firewalls); then there is the '23 T that's about 75% done and the remnants (frame and some body parts for a '19 T), and another '29 Murray Town Sedan that our oldest daughter and her family have (they used to join us for occasional outings before they moved out of state). ... And then there is the matter of the three Corvettes.

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
I have owned three A's over the years. Right now I have ONE. A completely rebuild - restored 1930 Deluxe Coupe and it is for sale. Should be in the Restorer Magazine - next issue. We are moving and we have to many other vehicles to ship. If, I find a new home for our "A", later on, I will find another one - finished or project car to buy. This one is a daily driver and we have enjoyed a lot of thumbs up and interesting conversations with people, while we are out and around.

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
I have two, shown in my avatar. I bought the sedan first and thought that was enough and then the roadster came along and I could not pass it up. I think this is it, but you never know. If a decent, unrestored, running, driving late pickup came along, I just might be tempted. I let one get away a few weeks ago.....

Re: How many Model A's do you have?
My avatar almost shows what I have. However, sold the 28 Business Coupe and bought a 31 Town Sedan.

It also means my number of A's has grown. I now have 2 1929 Tudors, one on the road and the other under restoration, 1929 special coupe, 1929 type 304 well side utility, 1929 business coupe, and a 1929 chassis that will get my B engine and a speedster body. I also seem to have inherited my dads 2 1929 phaetons, even though he is still alive, they have migrated into my shed Plus a lot of spare parts, 30 odd engines, gearboxes, rear ends, front ends etc. |

Wow, that's some collection. How many garages, barns or warehouses do you have to store all those cars? That question applies to all those with multiple cars. I only have two A's and a spare engine, and I have two 2-car garages and a shed for my project car and my 1966 Porsche 912. Dave in Moreno Valley (CA) |

1986 Ford Telstar turbo
I had one of those that I got from the tip for 50 bucks., I had the idea to fit the mechs to a Capri convertible. I ended up scrapping it, good riddance. |
