That's a really beautiful car.
How did you find it? (I hope its not rude to ask. ..)
Did the landau bars and their associated parts come with the car? (Hope so!)
Enjoy the ride!
You're going to draw a cheerful crowd wherever you go.

Moved to my retirement place a few years ago and it came with a new neighbor that's the local old car guru - an 82yr old lifelong mechanic that seems to know everyone. the '31 belonged to and old friend of his and family asked him to get it running/help sell. I helped him a bit and thought it was a neat car but never really expressed an interest in it and had never messed with Model As previously. Later it was offered to me for what I thought seemed like a decent price so I bought it. Right place/right time kinda thing.
Unfortunately it did not come with the landau irons/knobs. Story is they were loaned out years earlier to someone that was going to try to replicate them but never made it back. In searching I came across an old for sale post here for a set of 63C landau irons so figured I better join.
