Agreed! I have always loved the Model A Ford, even if I am mostly a GM kind of guy otherwise.

Re: 30 Tudor work
Thanks, Mike. I have admired your car and used it as inspiration!
I am working on it at my own slow pace, having had it since the seventies, but not really restored in the true sense. As I have...

Re: 30 Tudor work
I am sorry to say that the windshield glass is in poor condition, being cracked and foggy. It was apparently replaced several decades earlier, too, so it is not original. The driver's window is...

Re: Bonnie and Clyde's A?????
The death car was not a Model A, as Stouchton has noted. I seem to recall seeing the 34 displayed at the 1964 World's Fair in NYC when I was a teenager.

Re: Living in the south with a Model A
It's in the sixties here for the last couple of day. I was born and raised right here in eastern NC, and really do love my state. We do have some oppressively hot and humid summers, but that is to be...

Re: Model A car names
In recent years, I have taken to calling my standard black Tudor "Miss Annie"...mostly as it reminds me of a prim and proper conservative old lady and the name starts with "A"...... and I thought it...

Re: Women and model A's
Glad you were able to get that car. I am doing black wheels but may eventually also get a set to do red. Can you please tell me which paint you used to do your red wheels? They look just right to me....
