Hi Fordbarners,
want to show you some pics of a meet with a very nice Model Aer yesterday. Click links below to see the pictures of Brad, me and the 1931 180-A. Brad is a really nice guy and I'm happy to got contact with him. Yes and it was the Fordbarn which makes this meet possible. Enjoy the pics.

Me with our early 1930 68-B Cabriolet picking up 3rd price in Vintage Class.

Could post more pics, but the upload needs a lot of time, so enjoy this pics. Hope you can see them.

Greetings from Germany,
Alex
 
Thanks for lending me the keys!

Hallo Alex,

Thanks for letting me drive your Phaeton around yesterday!!

Very nice 180A .Just be carefull with the mirror bracket on your windshield frame.. The bracket comes close to your top cloth and when driving with the top up it might ware down with the flapping around.. It happened to another 180A owner.Thanks for the pictures...

You're right. The mirror is flapping arround with the top down, that I have allways some fear to loose it. Also the windwing glass is a problem through heavy vibrations. I nearly lost one, could snap it in the last secound. Ufff. Would need new screws to change the old ones. They are a little bid worn from tighten them to often. They are chromed brass. Would change to stainless steel, I think. How was the passenger side rear view mirror hole plugged in 1931 or don't they have a stanchion with this hole on cars with only a driver side mirror? Do you know how the fold forward seat hinges have to look on the 180-A?

Glad you enjoy the pictures.

Thanks, Alex
