An exceptional hisory of a common man's Model A

Jim,

That car belonged to one of our local St. Louis guys... it was his uncles since new. Irv has been the caretaker for probably the last 20 years I think... I've done a brake job on it in the past... Original paint on all the backing plates inside like new... it was a pleasure to do. I replaced the fan belt and did a showroom tune up job for the dealer ( Lou Fusz Ford) in Chesterfield before you picked it up. They get Model A's from time to time as they like them in their showroom and call me for an service and repair . It is a very nice original unmolested car. it had been repainted once ( I wish it hadn't) but other than that and sealed beams it is fairly unmolested. I've driven it a number of times.... runs well but engine is a little tired. Still a really cool car. Odometer had 41766 when it was in the showroom last. The woodgraining on the dash was excellent and a very short grain. I have a photo of that that I could possible post later on...
