    At risk of getting my internet hands slapped, I thought I'd see if we could get a definitive Model A Roadster picture post started! I did try searching a dozen varieties of the same theme, I even searched for "Show Us" and "Show Me" because those are usually the titles of the picture threads.

    So, lets see some pictures of your favorite Model A roadsters!!

    if i remember right from his threads on it, they are old indy car wheels...

    edit: from http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157740&showall=1

    "They are halibrand / Rudge wheels. They came off a 1950 Indy car.
    They are 18" magnesium.
    I took a 1941 Lincoln hub, and had it re-made into one unit with the Rudge spline shaft, and then fitted it back into the drum.
    Here is a pic of the drum.

    A lot of work, but it was worth it."

    Even though I normally gravitate towards the 30-31 Model A's...I've always kinda liked this one, except for the WHEELS, of course! (I'd probably lose the bumpers, too...and run a set of 36 wires on it and a full hood...but Dona Speir could stay in the picture...or the passenger's seat!!)

    :D :cool:

    I'll try and get some pictures and post them.

    Hemi, that would be great, I fell in love with that car as a 11 yr. old wannabe hot rodder while dog-earing one of my 1st HRMs.

    Man someone should have pulled that frame builder up and said " dude thats gonna look broken" coz it does. it literally looks like the frame has kinked in the middle! rest of it is awesome though. sometimes lower is not cooler...this is one of those times. :rolleyes:

    I like this one best, but I'm somewhat partial.

    Here's mine last summer. Currently I have the body off the frame and the motor being rebuilt. Did all the body work this summer and having the motor rebuilt this winter. Maybe next year I'll get around to the paint. All the numbers match, title, frame and motor.
