Thanks for accepting me
Thanks for accepting me and greetings from Australia. I have been involved with Model A Fords since the late 70s with my father, I have owed a 28 Tudor and currently have a early 28 Sports Coupe build date 29th May 1928, imported from Canada.

Re: Thanks for accepting me
Welcome to the Barn. Hope to see many more posts from down under. Tell us about what things you did with your father.

Re: Thanks for accepting me
My father had a Model A “ back in the day” a 1930 Four door as his second car that would have been in the early 50s. His interest was rekindled in 1978 with the restoration of a 1929 phaeton then in the 80s with a 28 Tudor and in the 90s with a 28 roadster utility. I purchased a 28 Tudor in the 90s and now have the Sports Coupe. My father has since past and I continue with his love for old cars.

Re: Thanks for accepting me
FWIW: The VIN is the date when the engine was approved after the run-in test and then stamped with the number . . . not the build-date of the car, unless you have other documentation.
Welcome aboard! |

Re: Thanks for accepting me
We welcome any and all folks the world over who will share in the hobby. It seems that the OP has more than just a little bit of experience with these old Fords. Feel free to offer up any comments or questions you may have. We are all still learning and this is a good site for it.

Re: Thanks for accepting me
Just like all men, unless you are made fun of, you are not truly accepted, so let me say Welcome and...here you go.
