Blind Back Model A's

I know of five for sale right now, rough at around 6K, easy restorations and drivers around 8K, and one restored car for 20K, which may be a little on the high side. These are all '30 Briggs cars.
 
I don't know how familiar you are with Model A's but make sure you bring someone knowledgeable about them with you to look at it. There is a lot of wood in these cars.

Very Early 1930 unless the bumpers have been changed...wheels are definately B

It is the later 160Bs ans 160Cs that are rare and potentially valuable. In the early part of 31, there were only a few C's made before the change to slant windshield...I don't know how many. Check the charts
 
The early "Standard" Blindbacks are kind of rare at 5279 produced the first three months of 1930. No cowl lights and a spartan interior without the center arm rest in the back. Peter Mendoza had one, I have one, and I've seen one other. I am sure there are many more lurking in garages across the country.

Greg, If you open both rear doors and place a 1x3 across the jambs what is the distance to the rear window? The 1930-31 blindbacks always look longer than the 1929, I've never had this measurement. Will post the '29 measurement later today. Is there a seam were the back meets the quarters? My '29 is one seamless finished piece. Bob
