Model A Cars and parts in Northern / central Wisconsin?
Anybody know of any junkyards but more importantly non businesses with model a cars or parts? I am trying to hunt some places down but so far it has been a failure. I am trying to locate the old man that has a mini junkyard in his back yard full of cars and everything.

Well I am looking for mouldings, carburetors, doors, seat springs, windshield wiper motors, jacks, and tools all for my 28 roadster. Of course, buying or trading parts isn't as fun as taking them off the car yourself. There has to be some kind of challenge

I believe the guy you are looking for is in eastern Minnesota just above Minneapolis. When I get home I can get his name. He sells model A's and is willing to trade for old snow mobiles.

I wasn't looking for a specific guy but he fits the bill. I am in Wassau until I leave tomorrow. Hopefully somebody can give me some leads as I drive back down to Northern Illinois?

Re: Model A Cars and parts in Northern / central Wisconsin?
How we long for the Old JUNK/WRECKING yards & their CHEAP parts! Get REAL, considering the wages back then, the parts cost an ARM & 2 LEGS!
In 1959, I was a Journeyman, Union Mechanic at Lutz Ford, in Palo Alto, Ca, & made $2.67 an hour!---Everything is relative, Chief told me about buying TUFF-NUT Overalls for 39 CENTS, but he was working for a DOLLAR a DAY! Bill Broke
