I've been south of Coos Bay for the last couple days, I've seen about 15 Model A's going up hwy 101 today. I hope to go to Coos Bay tomorrow and take a look around.

Really surprised at the number of cars with non-original equipment. Lots of 16 inch wheels. Many more sedans than coupes, understandable not many open cars in this part of the country. I have been able to talk to a few folks about a couple of things I've been curious about. Quite a few cars with late 30s, early 40's hydraulic brakes. Seems they aren't much better that stock, just less fussy about adjustments. Talked to a fellow with a counter-balanced crank, he really likes the lessor vibrations, something to think about.

Hemmings Motor News had a 10 car photo shoot at the meet for consideration in the 2019 calendar.
There were many fine Model A's present; some worthy of fine point judging. Thank You very much for your participation in this event. A first for the Oregon coast and a first for our club, "The Myrtlewood A's.

Very Nice Station Wagon. Is it 1930 or 1931?

Based on the radiator shell I'd say it is a 31
