Default Picture I took of my car today

Posted this pic online and a lot of people liked it, so I figured I would post it on here. My '30 tudor sedan next to an abandoned pipe factory in Hackettstown NJ

Car has some minor stuff done to it. Pretty much a daily driver in the summer.

Wonderful looking vehicle.

Sad to see the pipe factory as such -- probably provided many jobs years ago.

Looks like Al Capones guys shot at your beautiful car with a machine gun and missed, and got the windows instead. Glad they missed.

I thought his car backfired and blew out the windows.

It bad enough to see what's happened to our industry, but then to have vandals destroy the property really makes it bad.

Thanks!

And you are correct, no hood sides on the car. I have some work done to the engine (elec. ignition, weber 2 bbl carb and aluminum intake manifold and headers so I wanted to show it off a little more and let it breathe better.

That's a snappy looking Tudor. It looks similar to my 30 Coupe.....except of course its a Tudor. Very nice. But I have to tell you I dont like the old dead factory building in the background, it detracts from the beauty of that Model A!

I think it is a great shot. The only thing I would do is photoshop or crop the red Car out in the background.

Nice looking photo.

How are you holding your hood on without sides? I am not going to use the Hood sides but trying to figure a way to hold the hood in place. I like the leather straps but exspensive and I think it looks nice and clean how you have it.
