What is it
The ad says it's an A400. The side window looks like a 400A but
the back of the body looks like a Victoria. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1931-Ford-Mo...m=222320067336 Bob |

Re: What is it
Doesn't look like it much matters now what it was...
Now it's just a Red Menace. That folding top is a real piece of work. Looks like it was cribbed from a '74 Super Beetle. |

Re: What is it
If that was in my garage I'd have it on ebay also. Just goes to show there's more than one way to wreck a car.

I hate it when these tools wreck a car and call it what ever it was before they wrecked it. Over here, for a car to be called let's say, a 1931 Model A, it must have 5 of the 7 major components from that car. They are: Radiator, Front End, Chassis, Engine, Gearbox, Rear End and Steering Column. The other two must be period correct. It is interesting to note that the body is not considered a major component and that is because custom bodies were so often fitted to a chassis by the original purchaser to his specification. That is not so much the case with a Model A, but the rule still applies. Clearly, this car does not have any where enough 1931 Model A in it to be called such. It is a total misrepresentation.

Re: What is it
I see RED when someone does this to an original car.

Re: What is it
The car is a Hot - Rod, not a restored car. Why do you all belittle cars like it? I drive a rat-rod a 31 boat tail speedster a 1958 chevy car . Ilove them all! Admit it you like hot-rods and craftsman ship dont you. All cars are interesting to me!

Re: What is it
sorry Indiana, but hot rods really do nothing for me.
I understand people that enjoy them, just not my cup of tea and never will be.......... |

or its got more fiberglass than anything and whatever didnt fit in the chrome plating tanks got painted bright red - slap a set of cheapo american racing chrome rims or weld racing rims on it. Gets really old seeing the same things done over and over. Rat rods or rolling tentnaus shots I really dont get. Its one thing if your literally piecing together whatever leftovers noone wants and is destined to the scrap yard but they all look the same anymore - theres little imagination it seems. put skinny tall tireson it, chop the roof so theres a 6" windshield, no hood, lower it so its got 3" of ground clearence, channel the body so it sits almost on the ground then weld pistons or wrenches as a grille...Of course let it all rust and its either mostly missing brown or black paint - put a fake garage name/emblem on the door. Shame when they do it to a easily restorable car - I think thats what urks most of us. I would much rather have an origonal car from the teens - 50's than a hot rod. Its interesting seeing people at cruise ins - I get alot of smiles and stories and new parents telling their 5 year old this is the car I drove in high-school or college when I take my chevette. Same people will walk right past the $30K+ 69 camaro right next to me
