Model A birthday present
I got this 1931 Deluxe Coupe on my birthday
in February 2012. The former owner (Charley)died over a year before. and his nephew was selling the car. Charley had done allot of the work on the car which should make it easy to finish. Right now the car has been painted and i'm waiting for the upholstery from Lebaron Bonney. this car has a trunk which I like will show pictures later of completed car |

I purchased my 29 coupe in May 2011. My wife informed me that it was my birthday present for the rest of my life! Still a nice present.

He redid the trans, rear and motor. Before painting I hooked up everything and the car ran great. The paint came with the car but I had the black paint not going to put on fenders until roof is put on. |

Re: Model A birthday present
Very nice. Isn't amazing what a good paint job will do! Glad to hear you are keeping the trunk. You won't regret that decision.

Re: Model A birthday present
Very cool to restore base on how the previous owner wanted it to be presented. It's looking really good, as I've stated before, got mine in feb too, and have not had time to pull it out of the garage. You are making great progress, can't wait to see it finished
