Default Non points cars (long)
Without a doubt according to my post on classification of Model A's the most popular group was daily driver/ hamburger joint show cars. What changes have you or PO's made to your Model A, especially ones that are easily reversed? Some of mine were for economic reasons others because it's my car and I can do what I want with it. BTW - 28 Tudor.

I have:

Painted the bumpers, radiator shell and headlight buckets nickel color
New repo radiator
Single plate distributor
Indoor/outdoor carpet
Split front floorboard to accommodate batt. access for the above
My own design interior with .025" 6061T6 side panel backing
Laminated windshield
30 - 31 steering column support
Modern shocks
PO owner changed color from? to black
Some non era hardware
Extra batt. to engine ground cable
Logo lights
Going to add second stop light

It is now a good driver that I am not ashamed of at local shows and I have two holes to weld up to go back to unmolested condition - Which 2?
