Model A blindback and Coca Cola

[ronn]

am wondering if anyone else has ever encountered this.............

bought a 30 blindback and someone closed the roof in with metal, many moons ago- looking at the headliner area, is a tin Coca cola sign that was cut down. Now I'm no expert on Coke signs, but the sign was huge and steel and really great looking.

I would venture to guess, that the sign today, had it not been cut down-would be worth more then the entire car!
Funny how times change things.

Don't step on the driver's running board unless you are close to a hospital. Wayne

Where did those headlights come from?

Great project car, have fun

It should get great fuel mileage with that optional aerodynamic frt bumper..

Ya know, since he posted this picture I have been trying to figure how he got that much snow on the ground under it without leaving a tire track from it being moved atop the snow. But looking at the bottom of that drivers door, I would say it was blown in from the side with the floor out of it.

Just random musing since I don't live anywhere near snow, never have, never will.

Those headlights were on there Terry. Was going to change them out, but will probably just leave them for the next guy to do. Going too flip this to pay for the other projects in the Que.
The reason for no tracks, the hauler and I pushed it off his trailer from the rear...........

Mitch< I can get this bad boy up to 182 mph with that bumper! She keeps the front end grounded at high speed! (I am starting to talk like the other story teller on this site, who has me convinced that colorful words are a lot more fun to read then the truth)!

So, should I cut the metal roof out to save the huge piece of Coca Cola sign for my garage?

a copy of the roof sign, though mine was much larger

Yes, Coke signs are pretty collectible. I have no idea about the value.

Once cut to fit the roof panel, the value is pretty much nil. Wayne

if its cut it has little value like refinished furniture or sporterized firearms. If your looking to flip it may be a selling point.

didnt feel like laying upside down in the mouse sh-t to take the photo in the car...............

I agree with the selling point- have no interest in removing it- was just musing.
