OUTNUMBERED IN Model A's

Just one that I can drive, a 1931 Deluxe Coupe. But it has a couple of brothers who are rusty & broken who can only look thru the window and watch the fun.....
 
Originally we had the 31 Tudor Sedan but this past summer I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to own a 1930 Deluxe Roadster that I caught wind of. So currently I have 2 Model A’s, Snowmobile and a tuned Lexus IS300 when I need to go fast! All of these toys I managed to put in my double car garage!!!!

I've been searching for a Model A or T for many years without breaking the bank...Finally one came to me out of the blue just 10 miles from home 3 weeks ago. A 1930 Tudor Sedan in need of some work, cheap, and now I can build it the way I want. It's fun imagining what life must have been like back then, I'm even searching everywhere for period correct items to use or display. Remember the old Sears catalogs, I do, you know the ones from the 70's, they were HUGE. And them there Wards Catalogs, WOW.
I own many old and even older Volkswagens, three 1st Gen RX7's, a couple classic Camaros, and now will be looking for more Model A's or even a T.

We have a restored Model A supposedly owned by Al Capone (was found at the site of a federal prison) but not confirmed. We would like to get top dollar...any suggestions on where/how to market?

Jerry,

I'm really sorry to hear about your accident. I hope everyone will be O.K.

I for one feel the use of these Texting Devices in a vehicle should be banned by law . Unfortunately there are way too many accidents being caused by the use of these devices and people are being killed and/or seriously injured as a result of their use. :mad:
 
I have a 28 Tudor, a 29 Deluxe Sport Coupe, a 29 Pickup truck Roadster and a 29 Cabriolet. I also have a 31 Chevrolet 4 door Deluxe Coach and a 1932 Chrysler. Which one do I enjoy the most ? the one I am driving at the time. They all have their merits. All my cars are original except for the fact that they all have alternators and halogen lights for night driving. They are also in excellent to like new condition ! I work hard at my businesses and they are my stress release and my way to relax !

Have heard it said "If it casts a shadow you can rebuild it". i would like to think it was true

Well what do you mean by only owning one Model A?

Do you mean how many cars do you have on the street drivable?

Just a full car that you are restoring?

What about enough parts to build several other cars, but they were never bought as whole cars and they are really not 'cars' per se?

Some guys have one or two "cars" and 6 barns full of parts.

Somebody hit the back of my car & everyone said it was totaled but i fixed it anyway. If it was a model A then it deserves fixing all the more.
 
Just the one... for now. Previously owned a 1915 Model T Touring and a 1956 Chris Craft mahogany runabout. Not sure yet which is more work!

Mike,

I'll take the Model A when it comes to working on something. No need to get wet in the interim. And then there's the old addage, "The Bigger the Boat, the Bigger the Hole to Throw Money In.." LOL :p
