Brought home a 1930 Model A last week. Have been looking for a long while

and finaly found one .

Change avatar to picture of it. Seems in good shape basicaly but will

need a few small repairs to get Inspection sticker.

Will probaly be looking for help at times.

Cradelscyth,
It's a GREAT feeling when you FINALLY get a Model A, it's like when you adopt a Dog from the ARF Dog Rescue. Buster T. waited at ARF for 11 MONTHS, until we found each other!!!

Great story Bill, I feel the same way about Honey, she was 4 years old when we got her from Second Chance and it took a year or so for true bonding, had her 3 years and now a solid bond and here to stay. I know cradlescythe has looked for his A a long time and I know there will be a solid bond, if we can be of assistance let us know.

Great to hear this! See you around the town

TonyM · 10-24-2015, 03:32 PM

Congratulations.

I hope to own one too some day.
I would prefer a 1930 Coupe or Fordor--
black with black wheels and black sidewall tires.

Good Luck with the car.

Nice looking coupe! Do you have a rumble seat or a trunk?

Looks good and it's nice to find a car you can drive right away without having to do a major teardown.
