That is one Model A that just has to be preserved as is, which will be a lot of work too. I understand the front fenders are shot? Is the interior material still OK? I saw a similar 53K mile Town Sedan here which the mohair looked good but was rotting.
Magnificent car & more photos please as you progress with the preservation.
 
Another picture when it was found.

Yes its a slant window. The car sat in a Resturant named "Lowery's" in Tappahannock VA. Very nice car. It's the car on the left in this picture.

Ill have to find my pictures tonight. Gibb's oil is great stuff! If you look it up there site can describe it better then I can. About $12 a can.
 
Gibbs is a penetrating oil like Kroil, but Kroil smells better. I don't think there is much odor to Gibbs. I use both and have had good luck with both Gibbs and Kroil.
 
2023 Update The car is still in the same condition and has been stored inside for a number of years.
Plenty of visitors have enjoyed inspecting the car.
