Re: Advice needed for buying my roadster
I’ve had my ‘31 Deluxe Roadster since 1988 and enjoy it quite a bit.
As has been pointed out, they are small cars, so sit in one before you buy. Also, check the door jambs for scraped paint and other signs of mis-aligned doors. Almost every roadster I’ve seen has door alignment issues. Model A frames tended to sag after 90+ years at the rear motor mounts…
Also, be prepared for little to no storage space for tools and spare parts, as well as extra coolant and oil. I installed a luggage rack and trunk on my car since I tour a lot with our local club.
Even though I live in a fairly temperate part of the country, it’s too cold for me to drive the car more than just a few miles in December and January. I have side curtains, visibility is odor with them installed, so it’s always breezy.
Good luck in your search - JIm
