History Stroh’s Model A

I had the chance to see the strohs car built by lil John ****era, it’s a beautiful well put together car. The owner is looking to sell it also.

 

.....Can't he just go out to his garage?

 

Won't find much love on the New HAMB with the V6 in it. Kind of a shame really, because it really is a well built, well designed hotrod. And the V6 is probably putting out twice the HP of a flathead.

 

First Buick V6 was 1962 I believe.. Makes it sort of hamb friendly...

 

Its a cool car with hot rod magazine history, car is in fantastic shape.

 

So is the “ahem” model.

 

If the owner wants to sell it, why not list it on The H.AM.B. It will get great exposure, even if it has a V-6.

 

Sell not see

 

Ya that is too bad since like you said it is" well built" and a very nice example from a well respected builder.

 

I've had an appreciation for anything that ****era built, although the only one I saw in person was his white Model A roadster, and that was at the NSRA Nats just last year. Always well executed, well proportioned, sleek and simple. I appreciate the cars for their simplicity and what they don't have as much as for what they do have.

V-6 vs a "look at me" big block with a tunnel ram and a fairground thumper cam......I'd take the subtle but spirited V-6 in a 1700# roadster like the Strohs car!

I remember seeing that car when I was reading my dad's Hot Rod Magazines back in the early 80s. Glad to see that it survived in its original form.

Five years have p***ed - Wonder where it is now??

 

Yeah, right, she's probably 70 years old!

 

I'm 71, I be hitt'n dat!
