History 28-31 MODEL A THAT DOES IT FOR YOU! Feel free to post your Model A

Just.....WOW!

 

^^^^Interesting looking push bars/bumper brackets.^^^^

 

Mooneyes maybe? Neat little hot rod though, cheers

 

Ah! That makes perfect sense. Good eye!
I didn't even equate that shape with it, but it sure does look like the pupils are the attachment points.
I thought it a stretch that someone would have put that much effort into making and chroming them, as one-offs.
A catalogue purchase seams much more realistic.

 

Paging @Moriarity
Ever seen some of those frame horn ends?
Any vintage Mooneyes catalogues laying around your museum?
Google isn't bringing up much.

 

Thanks for looking!
I'm guessing the pic is late 70's early 80's, so maybe it was a later offering.

 

My 30

 

Perfection !!

 

I know Moderators may justifiably flag the rear shot of this coupe because of the Jag IRS, but it's just what I would build if I was starting a new project. It's an A coupe (my first car was a '29 A standard coupe), the taillights are '46-48 Chevy (my grandparents had a '48 Chevy four door and I regret not salvaging those taillights after Grandpa got T-boned leaving the grocery store) and for a few short months I had a '64 X-KE drophead. The only thing I liked about that vehicle was the IRS.

 

Perfection !!

 

Didn't Clark have something to do with the build of this one?

 

OK...I give up. Where is or what is the front spring? ^^^^ Is it a transverse spring mounted 8 or 10 back from the front axle on the wishbones?

Looks like torsion bars. JW

 

Torsion bars. I found these pics on bring a trailer. Cool car.

 

Thanks. What a clean look! Reminds me a lot of Lil' John Buterra's 28/29 Model A roadster.
