Another new Model A owner.
Been a member for a while, but never posted, only read and learned. My other cars are HotRodded so my posts were always kept over at the HAMB. I did some “wheelin’ and Dealin’ “ and traded some things and got myself a fairly stock ‘30 Coupe. The owner passed away 2 years ago, and he had to stop driving a few before that, so it’s been sitting in the same spot for a few years. I was able to get it started on fresh gas and starter fluid, but really couldn’t drive it, the engine spits and sputters pretty bad and barely has power. Was an amateur restoration (paint, steering column, long block, juice brakes) with a file folder full of receipts. It’s definitely a 5 footer, but I wanted something original, or pretty close to it. I’ve got a 70’s style T-Bucket, and my daughter has a ‘32 Roadster that was built for her on a TV show, and they’re both cool, loud, and obnoxious, so this little 4 banger with a muffler is a drastic change for our family.
And I got it yesterday on “Model A day”.
