Just a note if there is a better 1929 Ford Model "A"Sport Coupe around I do not know were it's at (just review the photos). This car is better then when Henry Ford built it.

Yes, here will still be work to be completed (every year fixing little things). Yes, t's a Model "A"and it will need your attention on a regular basis (this is part of the fun of ownership of a Model "A" ). Next year I was planning to install modern shocks to improve the ride and to replace the transmission gasket that is leaking a little oil.
