Especially for someone that doesn't know much about model A's but jumped right in like me. Thank you everyone for all the help and information.

Nobody knows it all, many think they do, I don't, so I ask those who know more than I do

Not to derail the thread but along the same lines. Did Ford make an early 28 business coupe with the left hand E brake lever or only sport coupes in that era? If you had a bare body with no deck lid or interior/top are there any other tell tales of which it originally was?

I think the business coupe came out in June of 28. I would have to dig out the JS to confirm what my memory seems to recall as being correct. Rod

My BC (which I sold) was an early with LH brake handle. VIN was in the 94,000 range. Heard of one a little earlier in CA back in the 80's when I was restoring mine. The bill of sale says it was sold in July 28 in Carpio ND. All that stuff now resides with the new owner. Kind of miss it but only drove it 3,000 miles in 29 years. Too many cars to drive.
