Introducing "Betty" 1938 Convertible

[GaryU.]

Hope it's a good omen that my wife has named our new to us 1938 Convertible Club Coupe. We purchased her way back in December and after waiting months brought her home almost two weeks ago. I've started the process of replacing fluids, spark plugs etc. and lubing where appropriately. The previous owner was a friends father who passed away last September after years of ill health. Prior to his ownership it was owned by a member of the Milwaukee Model A club so I contacted him through the club to try and get more history on the car. His two sentence e-mail said he got it from another club member who had it a long time and passed away back in 1996. She's got lots of warts and is definitely not a trailer queen but should be a lot of fun for my family. Posted yesterday about buying some headlights here locally to possibly replace the aftermarket ones on the car currently but projects like that will be in the future with no rush to change things.
