Intro section?

Welcom to the Barn from Sunny Southern California! We will all be interested in seening some pictures of the Model A for sure. In the meantime, that Porsche Coupe sure looks like a 1955 or 1956 vintage, with the small rear window....very nice!!
 
Tiny- Yes, a full time battery attendant and someone to run fresh gas through them as well. Come on over (bring your mittens though- it was 14 degrees here last night).
Pat- That must be quite a shop you run. I'm pretty sure this Buick is a Super, it's the one with the factory dual carb setup on the straight eight.
Terry- Yep, it's an early A super with the little beehive taillights.
 
My brother and I both work in hospitality, so December is Very busy for each of us. I went over to use some equipment in Dad's shop last night (upgrading the Christmas tree stand) and snapped a couple of lousy pics of the "A". Sorry, the Cole is in a different building and I didn't have the key for it so pics of that one will have to come later.
I thought the car was a '29 but am not certain. I also took a pic of a set of wheels that are probably for it but again, that is a guess on my part. I really am not knowledgeable, at all, on these cars.

The wheels are 21" with the rolled lip, but must have some kind of stuffing that resembles the 19" hub caps, probably a cover for painting the wheels.
 
Welcome! It looks like someone has scratched the DS firewall in the area where the Mfg date would be stamped. Take a look there next time you're at the car; that will tell you what year it is.
