Default Getting set up for the big race!

Our Model A Club has scheduled the big race (Hubley) for next month. Have to get the old cars ready for the event. Pictured below will be my two entries. First time for me for this type of event. The old 3 window Fordor looks like one of the front wheels doesn't want to stay on or has a bit of wobble. But what the heck, it is only a few feet it has to go.

The Deluxe Phaeton looks like in a little better shape but will have to get it to Manco for a paint job. (Hope I know at least what kind of cars I have-not sure of that).

Wish me luck. Have to compete against my Wife's station wagon (if she ever gets it painted). Should be a good event.

Oh, oh. It's not my hubley. Not my wife or dog in it either.
