Saw this in the Fed Ex parking lot. Took some pics. It's nicely done with great paint, chrome etc. The windows were down, but I didn't feel comfortable with sticking my phone too close to get a pic of the dash. The interior looked as good as the outside. Is it a Model A?
I need one!
Great old car and a V8. Looks like a model A to me.
Thanks for the info Apache. This auto was was immaculate. I've seen nice one's at car shows, but this one of nicest I've seen on the street. The owner had a cup holder and drink inside hanging on the dash, he must drive it regularly. The pictures don't do it justice.
I'd love to take a ride in that car. On a cool day! My granddad was born in 1861 and my grandmother in 1882. My granddad was a horse trader. They bought a Model A when they lost their farm in the 1920s and had to move to the city (Hannibal). Grandma did all of the driving, but one day granddad decided to give it a whirl, though didn't know how to stop it and just kept yelling "Whoa! Whoa!" like it was a horse until they ran into something and stopped. That was the end of his driving career.
They should have put some reins on the emergency brake handle. My father had a similar experience the first time he rode a motorcycle. The first turn he came to he kept going straight, into a fence.
I love the V/8 emblem in the grille and the car. Never owned one but did drive a model T once. Top speed was like 45 mph. Cool car and love your pictures.
Nice photos and all, but did the owner give the okay to post their car. Maybe they don’t want their plates on the web. Just saying!
