1929 Model A Fords - atDscn1169

rss

I have had a number of them during the last 50 years. It is my favorite year for Fords. The Cabriolet was purchased new in 1929 by my father. It was my first car and I got it in 1958 and had it running in 1962-63. The tudor sedan was built in 1963 and done in 1964 The body was found abandoned along side of the Klamath River Road, partially buried in mud. Just needed patch panels, not available then. ...so after a couple years the rusty body was tossed and the car was converted to a drag roadster (A/SR) in 1968. ...into a street roadster in 1971, and finally into a closed cab pickup in 1993 for my daughter while in HS. It has not been modified since; but will likely get a crate 350 motor soon. I am still working on the cabriolet, slowly but surely. The constant urge I have to build '29 Fords never dies. I may have to build a hemi powered 'hiboy' coupe after I finish the Cabriolet.

The first iteration of MFG 633. I found this tudor along the Klamath River road, rusty and stuck in the mud. but it was free and we got it titled as a manufactured Model A vehicle, with an 8 cylinder engine. A nice side view shot of car. The slight white spot on upper leading edge of rear fender is from blistered paint caused by tire rubbing while cornering with backseat passengers. Engine was a '62 327 250 HP.
