Default Have you seen this 1930 Model A Coupe?

I realize this is a long shot, but I would like to connect with the current owner of this 1930 Model A Coupe (picture attached.) The car spent time in Northeast Ohio (Kinsman), but the last information I have is that it was sold about 15-20 years ago at a Hershey, PA show to a Massachusetts buyer. Any tips or leads welcomed!

Send a letter to all of the Model "A" clubs in Massachusetts.

Thanks for pointing to this Model A. I sent the owner a message to learn of that Model A's ownership history. Unfortunately I do not have engine #, but I did send an email to the Minute Man Model A club (Massachusetts) with the same picture to see if anyone recognizes it. Fingers crossed ...

Can you tell us why you are intent on finding it. What’s your reason ?

Sure! That 1930 Model A Coupe was owned by my friend's Father. The picture is from my friend's wedding where I drove the Model A, with him & his wife in the rumble seat, from the church to their wedding reception. I offered to help him locate the current owner. If it's available for sale, my friend is interested in purchasing the Model A and getting it back in their family.

is the color a light brown with green accent? There is one in the Minuteman Club that once belonged to Gene Bunce, and it was auctioned off after his passing. However, I think Gene had this painted locally, so may not be the same car.

I was hoping to hear from Massachusetts Minuteman Club members! Thank you for the tip, Doug, but the Model A we're looking for was tan with brown accents. Sorry the picture I posted is not clear. If you know of any with the tan/brown color combo, please let me know!

OK John. Haven't Seen a Lt Brown/Dk Brown combo, but I will be on the look out when attending shows in the area.

Possibly the brown accents were painted over?
