The record of surviving 190A Victoria Coupes is now up to 532 cars, but there are more out there. The record is the intellectual property of the International Victoria Association, so you need to join the Association to see the record.

Being the keeper of the master record, my goal is to get just about every non-hot rod 190A into the record, and at the same time bring new members into the Association. Dues are very low, and members get a newsletter, The Bustle.

The membership application is my data source for the record of survivors; It has an a significant questionnaire about your 190A.
There are publications in work to compile what is known about the Victoria as the factory built it, and the Associations record is a data source for these publications.

So if you have a non-hot rod 190A Victoria Coupe, please be sure to become an Association member by contacting Bill at [email protected].

I'm not a member but I believe you have my car in your records.

I have an early 1930 Vicky but I'm guessing you don't want me in the club? It has a Rutherford OHV conversion on a diamond B block, T-5 trans, 8" Ford rear end with disc brakes and early V8 brakes on the front, dropped axle, a '32 gas tank, different gauges and upholstery, and a filled in top. Other than that it is pretty much stock.

Hi Jim,
Your 190A is a car I would own, but my garage is full. I will be turning my 45B Coupe into a Banger with a warm "B" motor, '31 radiator shell and V8 18" wheels. It is not that your 190A is undesirable, but the record of survivors is a tool to see what the 190As were like from the factory.

I would like to see some pictures of your 190A.
