I don't know what it is but I know what it's not. It's not as Model A, at least it's not any more.

I hate it when these tools wreck a car and call it what ever it was before they wrecked it. Over here, for a car to be called let's say, a 1931 Model A, it must have 5 of the 7 major components from that car. They are: Radiator, Front End, Chassis, Engine, Gearbox, Rear End and Steering Column. The other two must be period correct. It is interesting to note that the body is not considered a major component and that is because custom bodies were so often fitted to a chassis by the original purchaser to his specification. That is not so much the case with a Model A, but the rule still applies.
Clearly, this car does not have any where enough 1931 Model A in it to be called such. It is a total misrepresentation.
