I like it. It also comes with a trailer hitch to tow those broken down Chevies.

What's the story behind this one?
Does not look like a barn find, she looks way to good for that.

Not a barn find. A fellow Victorian club member decided to sell his car, and my dad was looking for another A. We'd been looking for a while, and this came up in the club newsletter at the right price, so we bought it. It had been laid up for four years. It needs a few minor repairs, a replacement of all fluids, new tyres, then she's good to go.

I don't know if it was on ebay, but it was advertised in the Victorian club newsletter.

She's a beauty!

Not far off the original colour.

A splash of Virginia Cream and Corinthian Purple and it will be ready for fine point judging.

Corinthian Purple, the Queenslanders would love that, It's a colour very close to their maroon state of origin jersey.

Nice looking car Dave. Do you know anything about it's history?

Steve Plucker · 02-24-2018, 09:10 AM

Nice car David...The Australian production of the Model A/AA Ford is a very interesting story in itself (as you know)...Stay tuned!
