I sold my very first 1929 Model A (Tudor) last summer because I bought a restored '31 coupe. The coupe was a great car but the Mrs. had a tough time driving her and we just decided that we would get more use out of a more "modern" summer car. We sold the '31 to a great guy in Michigan who bought it as a surprise for his Dad. We ended up buying a '56 Chevy (restomod) but I still wanted a model A (there's just something so mechanical and enjoyable to me about these cars, I love working and them and driving them) so I recently found a '30 Tudor a few hours away and bought her. I did a little research and it turns out this car was restored in 1990. In 2011 the owner donated it to MAFFI and it was
raffled off for a fundraiser to build the Ford Model A Museum in the Gilmore Car Museum (in Michigan ironically) The raffle winner had a bunch of work done (I have all the receipts) and then he ended up selling it to another guy this past summer. That guy didn't enjoy the model A so much so I bought it from him and hauled her back home. I absolutely love this car! She runs and drives great.
Here are some pics. Anyone remember this raffle? It was promoted by MAFCA and MARC. The guy who donated it was Jason Dryer from McLean VA, I'd love to ask him about the history of the car if anyone knows him.
