Thank you for looking.

People have asked about the lack of a title, Maine is a bill of sale state for anything over 20 years old but will issue a title after you submit all the paperwork from the purchase along with a fee to the DMV and the car is inspected by a state trooper. The process takes about a month.

I've been asked for more info and pictures, I can take any pictures you would like next time it's not raining out but here is some more work that was done along the way.

I bought this car in 2012 from a gentleman in Iowa, the top had already been replaced or I might have kept it for even more character. At some point in the 1940's or 1950's the car was painted over and a whole bunch of Nauga's died to cover the rumble-seat (Naugahyde, it was a bad joke...) At one point in time there was radio in her and two holes for the antenna in the LH cowling remain. I had planned on adding in a period radio again but the one I found would require more drilling of the firewall and I just couldn't do that to this car.

I went through the brakes adding new linings and replacing any worn components. I replaced the kingpins, plus added a new electrical harness to replace a very mickey-mouse setup. The oil can and bracket under the hood was added to reuse two screw holes that were previously there for a modern solenoid which was also corrected with new reproduction parts and there is a hole under the St. Christopher medal on the dash. I have not had the rear end apart, but they are not like T's and it is not making excessive noise. Neither front or rear springs have been touched other than spray can oil and greased the shackles. The shocks were all rebuilt by Rob Paul around 2013. The engine was rebuilt in 2015 with around 200 miles on it since. Babbitt was done by George King in Connecticut and the machine work was done by a shop in Augusta Maine that was recommended by a model A dealer up here by the name of Peter Reny. It has .060 over pistons and .020 under on the crank & rods from what I recall. All new valves and springs on an original cam that did not need grinding, the oil pump gearing was replaced and the pump rebuilt. A new clutch plate and throw out bearing were installed while there and I added an aluminum fan as the original was well cracked. The transmission was redone at the same time as the engine using new sealed bearings and o-rings on the gear shafts, the gears all looked fine for reuse.

The rest remains untouched.

FWIW, I have applied for and had an inspection by the state for issuing a title and should have it in-hand soon.

I now have a valid Maine title in-hand for everyone who had asked about it.
