WARNING: Model A Owners Look Away

Was there a divorce in this car's past? If so, then the other person got the "A" that is all right!

Seriously, what is the real story behind it?
 
This is the half he got in the divorce settlement. He put it here to block what is in the garage, a Duesenberg Model J.
 
Dean:
Don't know the history and apparently neither does the current owner - here's what his Craigslist ad says: "1929 Model "A" one half of a 2dr Sedan. It is what it is. Don't know the history or why it was done. One can only speculate. The whole 29 2dr sedan was in very good shape before being divided. Whoever cut the car & set it up, did a very nice job - very well done!"

Too bad he is asking 3 times what it is worth. I would have use for the lower qtr., door, cowl post and possibly the tail light provided it is the nickle plated brass one and not the later SS. Definately not good timing for being able to purchase any of the parts I need, so hope the parts get used to restore a decent car and not displayed in its current form. Rod
 
Whoever did this was probably a pot smoker who said, "I have half a mind. Think I'll go cut my Model A in half."
 
I've seen stuff like that in bars & restaurants for wall decor. It's a real shame but most likely whoever did it had no idea that they were destroying a historical artifact.
 
lets see... 30/31 tail light , head light and bar. hopefully the front ,rear and side apron is fiberglass ,the wheels are not good along with the radiator ..top hood and side is saved if original and whats up with that little guy standing in the front windshield??? It can roll around...there is a small roller in front near the door so its not a fixed Art . some ART.
 
Not Half Bad!:rolleyes:

Somewhere out there, presumably, is a better half !
Best idea is (hopefully) that 'other side' was demolished somehow. Anyway, I'd like to think so, as if this beauty was as nice on both sides..the one that did this should be examined for a serious ....split personality complex :eek:
