Lets See Your 190A Victoria

[Bob Bidonde]

If you have a 190A in any condition, please post a picture of it here.
My pictures:
>As purchased in 1993;
>As restored in 2016;
>Vanderbilt Motor Parkway Dedication 2018.

This 190A was assembled in April or May of 1931. The colors are not original, but I like it this way. My 190A is restored for touring with a 12V electrical system, halogen headlights, turn signals, LED tail lights, modified Model "B" motor, Flathead Ted's brakes and a 12V power panel for GPS and cell phones. The flywheel has been chopped and the clutch is from an early Ford V8. The front floor is modified for easy access to the transmission fill plug, and it has reflective heat shields. The body has insulation and sound deadening. Recent additions are a tool box at the radiator apron, and a luggage rack in back.

How do I post a pic? The barn asks for an URL, I don't even know what that means.

Titled as a 1930, 190-A. I've owned it for 18 months. Bought from an elderly man in San Antonio, TX. It has Ken Davis A/C, modern shocks.

Here's ours, an early 1931 flat firewall, Took about 2 1/2 years to restore as a driver, and we love to tour as much as possible.

If its saved on your computer as a .jpg, click the post reply button, while in the screen where you can type, hit the paperclip icon, which then you can hit the upload a file button. Then just select your picture you want to post and you should be good!

Saw this one on Epay, what a waste.

Love the Victoria's.

G_don, Having computer problems so am on my old one that has no pics on it. If I ever get things sorted out, I will send pics. I tried what you say yesterday but to no avail.

Thanks, Jim

Fredski53,
Are you a member of the International Victoria Association. The reason I am asking is because I do not see your 190A listed among the surviving cars in the Associations database that I manage. Email me: modela1931@aol.com

Here is a picture of my unrestored early May 1931 Victoria. I purchased it in 1980 and used it as a tour car for a few years. I repainted the tops of the fenders, the wheels and had it repinstriped, the rest is Ford factory original. Now I show it (470 points in Reno) and take pictures of details for people who are restoring Victoria's.

Here is my March 31 Steelback after three years of restoration. I always like to also show a couple of before pictures.

 

[Bob Bidonde]

Art,
Thanks for posting your photos, especially the wood assemblies. Pictures of the wood for a steel-back are rare, and very beneficial to 190A restorers.

Here are a couple more.

Hopefully, these will upload from this old phone!

Thanks for all the pictures guys. One of my favorite body styles so classy looking.

A big thank you to Bill Cilker for all of the help he has given us sharing photos and info of his original Steel-Back.
The photos are of my car, not Bill's.
