Car looks great and I'm sure you're glad to get it. I have one question and I don't mean it in a negative way, just curious: Is it just the pics or does the car sit low in the rear?

I thought so too. I won't have it home until the 26th of March being shipped from Detroit to Upstate NY, I am sure when I get it home there will be issues, I expect them, but looks like a good car to start with. The owner said it was fully restored 15 years ago so it's maybe due again odometer says 2800 miles or so since the resto. so who knows what I will really find. I have some extra A rear spring leaves so I will be able to fix it up, I plan on keeping it as close to stock as possible, and I know I have work to do on it but I just want to drive it around this year and have some fun first,

Did the wig in the rumble seat come with it or did you pay extra? >;?)

Enjoy it, just bought my first A.

Had recently sold my former vintage car, an Adler Trumph Junior, made in Germany in 1939. Have to fetch my A, when the snow is gone

I'm still on the V8 side too I still need to finish my 40 Pickup and without the Barn it would be a lot harder to figure out some of this stuff. But I have to tell you I am excited about the A I have liked them for years and I am looking forward to owning this a long time.
