Told you guys some time ago I had a 30 A pickup lined up. Welp, we just got her home today. This truck runs better than my 29 coupe but will need a full frame off. Motor was rebuilt back in the 70's and never really driven. Im excited as hell.:)

Heres a photo of mine when my Dad owned it and went from Il to Cali in 78 solo before cell phones and GPS said it was the most fun he'd ever had. Didn't care much for his color choice. not to offend anyone but we called it calf s**t yellow but he sure drove the legs off her. Sorry the color didn't come through 32 yr old polaroid oh well, he said a state trooper took the pic for him. Hope you have as much fun with yours as he and I did with the one of his I now take care of.

Way cool pic! The truck got a crapy restoration 25 years ago or so, its got alot of surface rust under the paint. Door and window rubber is shot and it needs a wood kit in the cab, all the body parts will be taken off and blasted. I shoot my own paint so thats not an issue, it has the normal dents that trucks have but body work isnt an issue. Any welding or fab work is covered also, I dont see this costing alot. Anyway, shes solid, original and runs great. Couldnt ask for a better Christmas.
Ill be in and out asking all those dumb *** questions, lol..............Oh by the way, I have been driven it. It was kinda nice not to have to worry about getting it wet in the rain like the 29 coupe, lol..................

Question about your coupe. Was it a Sport Coupe? What kind of top is that?

It is a business coupe, the top was replaced by a guy about 20 years ago. He used materials at hand, not correct but rain proof at least. At the price I got the coupe for I cant *****. But yes in fact it is, was, still is a business coupe.

I didn't know there was a Model A Business Coupe, but then again, I don't know everything there is to know about A's.

My Sport Coupe has a pretty bad blind spot, so those extra two windows would be nice.
