Think I knew that guy (vinyl hoarder) years ago in SoCal. He was a DJ for a local rock station and his house was full of "played one time records", just like that, floor to ceiling. What an awesome 401K to cash in for a few (dozen) Model As. Just sayin'

I have a January '30 Murray town sedan, eyebrow fenders. The cowl band is one of a number of unusual parts. It goes flat to the splash apron, not rounded (and it looks different). Also a mix of '29 and '30 parts, ie: rear cross brace, cowl lights, rear view mirror, etc. Guess the '29 bins...

I got 'em too and my sedan delivery now goes REAL fast and smooth and doesn't burn gas... well almost. Ordered them July 3rd; was told they'd be in on the 9th; they called on the 7th... they were in. Happy camper, so's my A!

Thanks so much for the photo treat. Now we are so jealous and all nostalgic for hardwood forests, windy roads, limestone cliffs, and amazing water falls... not to mention... ROAD TRIP! Have a great time!

Awesome display Don, I want one of those when I grow up. :D I got just the wall for it too. I like that it is in the house, very cool.

Very nice display case! Avid tool collector here. Just completed full set of jacks from 28 thru 31. Only collected for two years, but got most everything for my early and a late '30 A's, and '23 and '25 T's. Fun hunting with lots of swap meets, occasional EBay, and an amazing score at a Kansas...

I remember back, being confused about the bed strips too. Thought the 5 pickup strips were the same and figured I could get after markets. Wrapped my 6 originals rusty, bent ones with some old gutter channel and stuck it in the corner. So glad they didn't disappear. Worth there weight in gold...

So just how many years then does "new" become "old"? Pluck I've often asked that ABOUT myself! :D Great question and interesting input. I suppose it all depends are your perspective and experience and maybe whether you are a shopper, seller, owner, observer... young or old. So for me...

Sure enjoy those theme cars! My Sedan Delivery is just shy of completion, but my theme is already done. Love of Tennessee and moonshine (not necessarily in that order) has created a monster already for my ride. Will have a license tag saying "uphold the 18th amendment" (no 'shiner woulda wanted...

Dennis, I think the history will tell the tale, you are so right. Guess I need to go to SoCal and do some laundry! Don, my friend, I appreciate your head scratching here and in the P.M.s on this mystery. Gary, I had the money, but my taxman got it today, there goes the mystery plate AND my...

Thanks Rusty, Just what I was looking for. Guess I used the wrong words in my search. That is really helpful and on the list for this weekend... if I can just squeeze under there... it used to be so simple!

Thanks folks, 1930Art, hadn't thought of a cover, good idea. No idea what it wood be though. Dennis, appreciate the idea love to see that city tag. You are right, I've often thought I should contact Sloan's and ask for any history they might have, if anyone is still around who remembers back...

This may have been covered before, but my search didn't get what I need Any recommendations (maybe a tool/jig?) for bending the zinc outside running board strip? I don't wanna mess up those shiny, straight repros. This is late '30 commercial, no rivets. Thanks so much for any suggestions.

October '30 Deluxe Delivery T handle here. Think the column locks came later, as has been stated. pretty sure the top metal over front doors are the same as Tudor... I know the doors are the same. Another Don

Glenn, Hadn't thought of the dealer tag, good idea! Hmmm... 28A, I will try to contact Dick and see what he says. Also wondered if it might have been a fleet tag of some sort. It came out of L.A. with a panel sign that said "Sloan's Dry Cleaning, Pressing... and Shoe Repair". There are still...
