    Looking at some of the threads on the origins of our great pastime got me to wondering....

    What was the most famous or most influential Model A tudor sedan in hot rod history?

    Show us some pics if you have them!

    Roothog's Drag-n-Fly and A Bone's flamed Tudor are right up there with Chrisman's Tudor.

    In the mid-sixties era, Russ Meeks, Portland, OR, had one of the nicest A tudors in my memory.

    Great examples guys! Christman's is certainly a fine specimen!

    HRP, I'm so glad you posted that black '29! It's one of my favorites and a huge influence on where I want to go with mine! Full fendered, no chop, and wires....Bingo! Anyone have more info on this one?

    I LOVE Root's Drag-n-Fly! That beast rocks!

    32's didn't have a visor on them.
    So this car still exists? any current pics? I've saved a handful of pics over the years of it, as it is so bad ass.

    When I saw the title of this thread, the first one I thought of was Chrisman's... looks like I'm not alone!

    HRP,
    I'm trying to build a little storage space out back so I can have room to move around in the garage! Right now, It's so crammed in that I have to go outside to change my mind! :D
