Default saw a rough but nearly original A today

I saw this model A today. And it was in rough shape. Some one ripped the for sale sign out of it. Dont know if that is because its sold or just a guy who really wanted it. I just stopped to check out a real rough A I saw on my travels today. Not that she wont get saved. Not that she isnt worth it. 92000 on the odometer.

That's not rough at all...that's a daily driver. At least it was once it was parked.

Sadly in the UK it would stand more chance of being rodded than saved .

the rodders in my area are mostly in there 60s. But I got a set of bumpers from a guy doing a coupe and my wife works with a guy doing as much chrome as he can on a 34 pickup. But just as many cars are being rodded as there are being saved.

By far the majority of "Model As" advertised here have been rodded too. Seems to be universal but if they own it, they can do as they wish with it. It doesn't matter that we don't like it.

There is a bright side I suppose . I have two cars sitting on the running gear of rodded cars so they lived again .
