Looks like a 29 sport coupe in need of a restorer.

Why are you surprised? It's been only 85 years since the last Model A was produced.

Now, just try to find a replacement parking light for a 91 VW! There's a rarity!

As a collector (silly me) of non-Ford-made wheels for the Model A, I found the rear wheel (wood) interesting. I know that some Canadian Fords and others 'out of country' sometimes came with wood wheels (AA's mostly), but for the most part wood wheels were an accessory sold by outside vendors.

There are a surprising number of snow-mobiles still around. This vehicle has a combo of both types of wheels, which I find interesting. The missing/not missing 'tracks' are more properly called 'cleat tracks'.
