Sadly, almost all of those are fixable and at the same time, most likely, almost all of those are now appliances from China.

Just wondering...why would you create a new post when you already know there is an existing thread?

There are five pages of Model A Crash pics here...

What happened to the car in the last 2 pictures? Looks like it exploded on impact and someone removed the window regulators as soon as it cooled down.

Great Lakes Greg · 03-06-2014, 08:06 PM

Sadly, I can't see anybody surviving the majority of these collisions.

joe 1950 · 03-06-2014, 08:13 PM

the only good thing about all these wrecks is in the old days you could buy a good motor from a wreck for @ 15 - 25 dollars witch was a bit cheaper than a overhaul

Will N · 03-07-2014, 08:42 AM

Take notice- what you don't see in any of these mangeled wrecks is that the gas tank caught fire. I recall reading that the Model A came under criticism when it first came out for having the gas tank mounted in the cowl. In retrospect, it seems like maybe one of the safest places to put the tank- up above the impact zones and centrally located so that it's protected.

tpowel2 · 03-07-2014, 08:49 AM

A couple of them look like they were in a tornado, not collision damage.

Steve Plucker · 03-07-2014, 09:08 AM

Well, we now know for sure that there was chicken wire installed on some of those roofs!

These are not a crash, but an "A" Model that caught fire.

Did anyone else notice that in the 13th image, of four identifiable vehicles, there are three "A's" and one "AA?"

If you follow the link I posted earlier in this thread there are several photos of that scene from different angles.
