Any 1928 Briggs Leatherbacks out there?
Looking to see how many 1928 Briggs Leatherback (60-A) are on the barn.
Specifically, are there any in the IL-WI area? I haven't seen another since i put mine together a year ago. |

Lots of pieces for 60-B's, but no desire to build one. Rod

Re: Any 1928 Briggs Leatherbacks out there?
Here is a photo of my Oct 28 Briggs. The interior is original. I think the top is original but it was painted black when the body and wheels were painted blue before I purchased it. It runs fine until the rust from the tank block the fuel flow. A quick clean of the sediment bowl gets it running again.

Re: Any 1928 Briggs Leatherbacks out there?
Don, thanks, the top is currently black but I am debating on changing it to brown. Both look good with the green color scheme.
The balsam green is, I think, one, if not the best, color for a Model A. The car is balsam green on the lower body, Valley Green on the upper body and sills, pembroke gray on the window reveals and has old ivory pinstriping. Wheels match the pinstriping. Starter is purple.  I earned a "DUH" award over the weekend....today was your day.
