It looks more like a business coupe but the two types only differ by trim levels and the landau bars. Nice tricycle too.
 
That's a well used Model A. Check out the right front tire and the apparently wallowed out crank hole.:) Thinking it is actually a sport coupe, note the step plate for rumble seat access.


I would place this in the early 1930's
 
I can see the landau iron (also the step plate on the fender), so it is definitely a sport coupe.


Dave, where do you get all these old picture of model A's?

Opening: September 14, 1928. Ackerman and Harris were the initial operators.

The location is in the Crocker-Amazon district on Geneva just a block and a half east of Mission St. The street behind the theatre is Amazon Ave.

Looks like my first Model A in 1962. Back than, you could find them in almost any barn.

Enjoy.

Car batteries back then cost cash, and they were not that great of quality. My grandfather always told me that back in the day if you could get a battery to go a year you were really getting a lot of value.
