Kool! We use our '28 roadster pickup every year to get a tree.

Will a Tudor roof support a Christmas tree? I was thinking about using mine to grab one today, but isn't it wood and other delicate materials under the covering?

yes you are correct and in many cases rotted wood.

I hope kartnut36 doesn't mind if I use his pic as my Christmas card this year. You see, I live in New Orleans where nobody has ever seen a snow shovel and all my friends are going to ask just how far I had to drive to pick out just the right tree.

My Tudor roof seemed ok to hold the tree. I wasn't too worried about it since I'm planning on replacing all the wood anyway. I took this pic last month on thanksgiving.

Just love bringing home the tree every year in one of the A's. Actually, the Coupe looked nicer with a tree sticking out the back of the rumble seat. Could have driven all around town showing off each and every year.
I thought about offering an A Tree Delivery Service. I could just hang out at a tree lot and, for a fee, offer to deliver trees to homes in my cute A PU.

Ps. Sorry about the sunny SoCal weather. Just can't seem to rustle up any snow around here.

Read lots of stories on this forum about Rumble seats not being safe should not ride in them! Looks like bringing home the tree is a job just perfect for an Rumble Seat

I think rumble seats should be turned around backwards, so the passengers can make faces and throw rocks at the tailgaters.
