Re: Why do you own a Model A?
I always loved Model T Fords. I had three at different times and rebuilt a lot of parts to get them in good shape. Then I grew up and got an A. Still have a T but drive the A a lot.

Re: Hood supports

Re: 1931 Standard Roadster top
Call Bert's in Denver and talk with Steve. They have all the parts except the fabric. Tell him to stop at his bank first.
