If I had the space and money that would be a fun toy! It would be really interesting to see how well it drives and how fast it goes when its fixed up. Could be fun to put a plow on the front to move snow or something, or some kind of a small blade on the back to plow up a small garden? There may or may not be much utility in something like this but it would be fun to tinker around with.

You used to see a lot of these, in different configurations, in West Virginia and Ohio. They were called, "HOOPIES".

All right you Michiganders, someone needs to go buy this thing and save it for posterity. And its not a "Reserve" auction also. May get it cheap.

They guy also has a 31 Model A that he bought and will keep. I invited him over here to the Barn as he is new to all this. He has a couple of small kids and the wife wants him to spend more time with them and less in the barn.

I am with you. My N is a whole lot easer to drive. But then my Cat D2 would run circles around this thing.
