And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thats just getting to the correct vintage for a resto mod, me, like a all time 4 WD coup, convertible if course, chopped a tiny bit, body restored to factory. Prefer a standard tranny, a Chevy Performance crate engine, true track diffs front and rear, leather seats, keep my old lady warm and near that way. Thats my dream hot rod.
Not that I'm an expert on early Fords ( I know a '49 from a '50) but that looks like a Model A to me. The 1911's look more like buggies. Someone once commented about the ads in Hemmings saying that a car was 90% complete but that you should consider that a Model A had 5000 parts so I guess it depends on the 10% that were missing. Seems like some guys could rebuild a car from a wheel.
Very surprised that it's still sitting there, weathered but relatively undamaged and mostly complete. Sitting in that puddle there's probably not much left of the frame, though.
It is a 1931 Model-A Ford deluxe roadster. The shinny parts are "stainless-steel" and not chrome plated. The windshield stanchions are the shorter deluxe versions which give it away as a deluxe roadster. The standard roadster/phaeton stanchions were an inch or two longer. The car is definitely restorable.
Parts are parts, last I checked the factory isn't making those anymore
ReplyDeleteits a 1931 Ford

ReplyDeleteHeadlights are still intact, and the chrome looks shiny.
ReplyDeleteGIMME!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere???
ReplyDeleteThat radiator shell alone has got to be worth quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteMaybe but there are parts there worth their weight in gold.
