It is Model A powered but not at all a restoration. My father was original owner (Oct-Nov. 1929), and did not let me drive it before modifications were made (hydraulic brakes). I was barely a teen back then. It was my first car, and I have had it since 1958-1959. I pick up my first batch of finished painted parts this week. I hope to get the car finished in 2015, painted in its original Andulsite Blue, but a very slightly tweaked formula, more blue, less red, less black, still almost black with a blue-purplish hue.
Hey Russ,
Love the looks of that car !!
And , blue is going to make it stunning, eh.
Still , I'd like to see an antelope draped on it today as your Dad did back when. I've fished the areas around Susanville and have often thought of a antelope hunt in that area. Did you accompany your Dad on any hunting trips ? Any pics of engine bay ?
