Default Model A Ford "models"

I have been all over the internet today looking for scale model cars of Model A Fords ( Roadsters). Kinda' seems the pickings are thin. Tried Motor Mint and other more expensive sites - can't seem to find much to complement my 1928 car. I also have an original 1951 Chevy pickup. I have 12 models of the truck, and none of them are painted in dark green. Dark green was THE color for Chevy 1947-53 1/2 ton pickups - go figure.

If anyone can steer me to a good site for Model A Fords "models", I would appreciate it. Thanks, BW

Default Lots of Model A models available....

Bobster,

There are a "bazillion" different Model A models (and GAZ A models) that have been made over the years, including scale models, plastic models, even paper models, cast iron models, plastic model kits, metal model kits, wired remote control models, friction models, porcelain decanters, etc, etc, etc.

eBay, of course, is usually a pretty good source for older or discontinued Model A models.

Is there a specific year, body style or scale that you are looking for?

Attached is a photo of a very small part of my Model A models collection.

Fordially,
Brad in Germany

The Diecast pic's can be full screen after clicking on the thumbnail pic at the right. Then by clicking on the pic again, and then you move through the complete folder, like when looking at pic's on Hemmings and others, enjoy!
