Hot Rods Does anyone know the history of this 1929 Ford Roadster?

I have had this car a couple of years and am eager to find out more about the history of it. I saw it first in Los Angeles 7-8 years ago and now it is in my garage in Norway. Any info would be appreciated. Is it an old survivor or have it been built to look like one? What does the script "Local" on the door refer to, the local bar or could it be a hardware store?

 

I'm guessing it's about some kind of license. I've seen stuff like this on farm trucks before. A search on a Loose Creek, MO cemetary has a whole bunch of Jaegers listed, including a August W .....

Thanks for the link to Loose Creek cemetary, the August Jaegers listed there was from the right time age to possibly have owned this car.

 

I know absolutely nothing about the car but I know a nice car when I see one,,congratulations on the purchase. HRP

 

Thanks HOTRODPRIMER, i have tried to contact a Jaegers that lives in Loose Creek on Facebook, it would be great if i found some more history to it.

 

Hmmm...coulda been a union rep...
