Default Dash mounted flower vase

My friend Vern has a dash mounted flower vase in his 1928 roadster. He had his bracket made by Reen Kotas, a long time member of the San Diego Model A Club. Reen is a retired machinist who loves to help Model A people.

I had a Model A flower vase, but it was the type that mounts to a side wall. Vern shared Reen's phone number and Reen modified my bracket so it would mount to the dash of my 1929 Tudor. As you can see, he did an amazing job.

Both pictures are of the new bracket.

Reen also makes brass gas gauge floats, that outlasts the cork version.

I have one of Reenlee's brass floats in my car. Awesome workmanship.

Reen would prefer not to have his phone number posted.
If you send me a PM with your phone number, I will pass it on to him.

Brian,
My 1929 Tudor has been undriveable since 2017. It will be back on the road soon. I know my wife will keep the vase full with flowers from her garden.

This is the vase bracket that Reen made for my '28 roadster. He is a talented man and always willing to assist those of us with limited skills.
