Wow! That is a beautiful sweet automobile that is far too upscale and decent for a clod like me.

What we need are "Jalopy Awards" for blistering and peeling paint knock around dented driver Model A Ford cars. Our late 31' deluxe tudor in the photo at left is a survivor situation. Looks as if paint was throw at the thing over the decades. The impression is of a 1940s period $15 grade Model A Ford being an escapee from a World War 2 junk yard scrap drive.

Ed, you and Sarah certainly deserve it and she looks great. Of course you have worked hard to do lots of little detail things from the luggage on the back, disguised fire extinguisher, and detailed the car well. I'll keep her running and you keep her looking good and happy. Don't worry about the gas tank paint, we'll take care of that this winter.

All the best!

Sarah is running with only half of her rack luggage, straps and the slide holders broke, they weren't new ya know on the rattan suitcase so the Gladstone bag straps have nothing to slide into to hold it down to the suitcase so it's back on eBay looking for something to replace her rack or come up with something different. AND I have all the time to search too!!!!!

The coupe is a beautiful thing in nearly every way. I wonder if the car left the factory with the green wheels. Dual side mounts might have also been a retrofit feature. Are we still in the era when cars are what I call deluxified into a form that never was? I know that I did it with my 160A, plugging in cowl lamps and side mounts. In spite of the remains of correct pinstripe the wheels immediately went bright red. My 40B standard also took a beating with drilling for those cowl lights again. The large wings on my Taiwan Moto Meter were a nice touch. Too late I understood that my "improvements" were almost destructive. May have been different if my results were nearly as beautiful as the featured coupe. Good Luck: Fred A

It has been determined that she did get a restoration back in the late 70s. Engine was rebuilt then also. The side mounts were added or rather cut out and fitted, still original fenders. Rumble is original though. Cowl lights, don't know. Original paint color, nothing underneath chips that says different but as for the wheels, they are original wheels but if they had been sandblasted and then re-painted.....don't know. There is some filler, not much but filler is there. So, she has had a face lift....far better results for sure than some once beautiful women were before they went under the knife. She's my Babe..........but so is my dog.

Similar but not exact, yours was autographed by Sarah.

Fixed, she's back with a full rack............ Couldn't find anything that could take it's place on eBay or that I could afford.

Took me awhile to resize the award to fit into this photo........ It's hanging in the Sarah's garage next to her.

31 Model A that is ONE fine Coupe I love it

I agree with what you said about 'once beautiful women before they went under the knife' most of them look like circus clowns when they get done Pretty hideous.
