Ebay

Yep...listed in the Barn Swap Meet as well. I counted all of the money I have in the change jar this morning...afraid I'm gonna be a bit short :).
 
" This 1931 Ford Model A deluxe Victoria (Coach Work by renowned German Coach Builder Karosseriefirma Gläser of Dresden) is probably like nothing you've ever seen at the local car show, this is a very rare piece........."

While this is a nice and rare car, I would take a Model A Town Car over this.
When I first saw pictures of the rear of the Town Car I thought the chopped rear was kind of ugly, but when I saw it in person I thought it was a very nice looking car. For those who haven't seen a Town Car in person, they show up at the National meets most years.
 
Comparing this car to any other body style is sort of like apples and oranges-this is not a car I would want to own, but I hardly see the comparison of this to a town car-yes I love the town car too-sigh.............
this car is very rare and for a special person, just not me. I like the simplicity of the A
and not looking like a Chuck Barris restomod, but the car is definitely museum worthy.
actually, the bumpers kill me-remind me of platform shoes.........

It's George Barris, Chuck Barris hosted the Gong Show. Perhaps a good analogy based on some of the posts here. BTW, noted that the car had the dreaded Float-A-Motor mounts.
 
But, after spending all that money, you still just have a Model A. This is the modern equivalent of an auto shop buying 50 new Ford Fusions and changing the bodies on them and customizing them, then selling them as a shop customization. Doesn't matter how old it lives to be, it's still a Ford Fusion.

Perhaps I miss the point?

I agree with Tom and others.

I agree with you!

The only way I would buy that car is if the styling is something I would want to do with my car but lack the knowledge/materials (money) to do so. It would not be because it is a rare car as every custom car is a rare car.
 
I would take it, as it was built only some miles from my home :)

But my pockets aren't deep enough and it would violate the rule "Don't sell it back to these bad Germans!" :D
