    Intro

    After 55 years of riding bikes, I had my final crash two weeks ago. A shattered right elbow and a torn ACL. Lucky to be on this side of the dirt. I grew up with Model "A"s.. My HS parking lot was full of them. I had a 30 coupe in the early 70s. I always wanted another " A Bone" to fool around with. I guess it's time. As soon as I am back up to speed, I will be looking for one. Sorta have my eyes out for a 28/29 rumble seat coupe or a Tudor, somewhere south of 10K . Just a nice driver. I will be joining the San Fernando Valley Chapter once I find my car

    Welcome to the best Model A site on the internet. Tudors are nice and they have the easiest seats to move back for added leg room.

                I'm in Santa Clarita. I think we have an old car club here but there is a MAFCA chapter over the hill in the Valley

                  Oh, ok, you are farther away than I was hoping. Well, the coupe is still up for sale. Let me know if you want to see and fondle it.

                  Join the club before you buy a car. Clubs are a good source for leads and advice. Great alias. I wish I had thought of that one!

                Sounds like a good move, don't forget to put seat belts in the A as the door will fly open on impact, especially the coupe and tudor bodies.
                Lots of them on Craigslist, price depends on how much you want to work on one. Someone said to buy two, one in driving condition and one
                to work on. :-)

                  We have a couple threads in the tech area about new purchases
                  Here is one of those FYI, but you may know most of this

                  I'll start with what i feel is a very important item. There is nothing worse than buying a car and finding out that it cant be driven due to crap in the tank
