I met a pair of guys in the mid-70's,who were in their mid-70's,that had DeLuxe Roadsters.They both insisted their cars were factory DeLuxe cars.Both cars were matching engine and frame numbers,one was a February car and the other a May car.Some of their purist A friends tried to point out some of the facts of life to them,but they knew everything,so it was like talking to rocks.They were nice to me because I acted like everything they told me was gospel.Both cars had dual bolted on sidemounts,not riveted,filled holes where the rear spare mount was,bolted in rumble conversion,again,not riveted.Both trunk lids had been converted to rumble lids.One car had a flat firewall,not indented,and both cars had the early instrument panels,something else the DeLuxe never saw.These guys were the self-appointed Model A experts in this area.
