Default 1930 Model A 170B on the road after 6 yrs.

I finally have my 4 door blindback on the road.

Still needs upholstery and a few other details.

Installed all new wood, wow what a job, but nice and solid!

painted the car in my driveway. Just need to make new front seat wood.

Finished making back seat wood last week.

Can’t believe it was painted in the driveway.

Looks great. You both look very proud.

Enjoy.

Is BOSS looking thru the rear window and the worker in the front window?
Do you have more pictures of the interior wood?

Have all my glass windows installed now and wired up dome light.
So if anyone has questions on installing glass in a Briggs 4 door,
I would be glad to try and help.

I agree with others. It looks fantastic. Hope you enjoy for many years, I know you will get lots of smiles, thumbs up, and compliments every time you take it for a ride, It seems one thing our A's do is make people happy when we go by.

That is not a factory color on the either the body, or the rims, is it? I love it either way. It is a bold choice and beautifully executed.

Enjoy it for many years!
