Don't do this with your Model A/AA restoration...

"I enjoyed it too...thanks much to RonC. The era ads,,,,,,the one that tells you to 'Look for the Nipples', well that kind of goes without saying"

Jeff, you are so bad... :p
 
Cider Mill: Thanks! It's at the Wilmington & Western Railroad station near Wilmington, Delaware. They sell several-mile-long rides to the public using two nicely restored 1914 Baldwin locomotives and old period passenger cars and cabooses. (Check out their website by name)

I arranged with the management to park my car near the station house on weekends in nice weather to help "add atmosphere" and have folks enjoy checking out the car between train rides.

It makes my day - and theirs!
 
Here's mine taken at the Alaska Wild Berry Park

Really neat pickup. That green looks so "right" on a Model A pickup.

(There's a roadster trying to climb into the bed)
 
Don't be stupid like I was 50 years ago and let some fast talking bondo slinging scum bag restoration shop (I use the term very loosely) talk you into to restoring you Model A. If they even talks to you count your finger when you get away from them. Am I still pissed? Damn right I am. MY apologies to all the reputable Restoration shops out there.Also take lots of pictures make a list of all the parts you are taking off you car if or when you send it out to have any work done.Some times it is strange how thing come up missing when you go to pick it up. Enough said.

I agree that green seems just right for the 30-31 pickups. Unfortunately, mine is goldenrod. But I still like the truck. (I have replaced the whitewalls with black).
