History Went to grandmas house, came home with a 29 Model A coupe!

Great story!

This is what I like to hear. I hate when guys get nice, complete cars only to chop them up and turn them into street rods. Have fun with it!

 

Awesome!

 

Wow, don;t get no better than that...
What a sweet Grandmother too !!
Enjoy...

 

Great story Josh! That coupe looks really solid- a time capsule for sure. That paint looks like it would rub right out with some polishing compound and a nice wax job. Take and paint those wires black, throw some blackwall Firestone piecrust bias tires on it, a two pot intake, and go crusin for that rootbeer float. That will be a nice pair for you and your wife to go around in too, and something that your wife should cherish forever in memory of her family. Cool stuff!

 

Yes - exactly - what he said!

Great car, great story, great family.

Grandmas rule!

 

Wow! Sounds just like what I said to my wife's grandma! Yes this is mine, not my wife's......sometimes you shouldn't say you like something...wish it was a 32.....still getting shit for my own set of.......

 

Love it when pics don't post....

 

Wow, that looks like the turtle wax test car! Great deal.... Enjoy that one and dont ever sell it!

 

Super!
Congrats man..

 

Very cool story!!!

 

Man that is a cool story. Make grandma proud.If some day she gets to ride in it that would be great. Nice car!

 

Awesome!!!

 

Wow. There's no justice in the world.

You get offered a sweet '29 A from Grandma.

I got offered a '94 Grand Marquis with severe frame rust and a caved-in front fender from Gramps (well, his descendents, anyway) for the low, low price of only____. It does have the obligatory old-people CB antenna, Triple AAA windshield sticker, and box of tissues on the back window deck though....

We can clearly see which one of us was the problem child!

Seriously, congrats- that car is sweet, and it's got a lot of great stories that came with it, I'll bet.

 

Incredible. You're very lucky. I hope you do take her for that spin. Be sure to document it here, as well. I'd love to see you keep it purple, too!

 

Very special gift you were given. It's more than just an old Model A, it's all Grandma's love and memories with that car that you received also.

 

Great story .Now get to work your Grandma needs a rootbeer float. Glad the car keys was handed to some one who can appreciate it.

 

Maybe yours does. All I got from mine was the back of a hand and several "Stinky Eyes" Oh yea, cool car- Great score

 

love the picture of you and grandma! great picture!

 

You Lucky Dog!!!!

 

How in the hell could you squeeze 2 adults and 4 kids in there? That's crazy! Couldn't imagine summer heat and sun, with six people in there, truckin all the way to Yosemite.

One of the best stories I've read on the HAMB to date. Do it justice, and add more memories to the tale with your kids.

Oh, and I second keeping the purple patina.

 

The best part is someone stored it on jackstands for all these years.
I'm sure it saved those tires!
I love the back ones,
if you ever get rid of them let me know!

Congrats on the car.

Josh I will donate you a visor if needed...just come and get it.

 

very cool my gram had a couple of fiat 124 spyders she sold them and the sat near my house for years my mom learned to drive with themand thats what they had when my mom and dad started dating my dad always talks about my mom putting on driving gloves and scaring the shit out of him on back country roads by the time i was into cars they were long gone i have been searching for them

 

Very cool. Looks to be a 28 Special coupe or Leather back coupe.
What do you have planned?

 

Make grandma proud. That thing has a neat stance .

 

Score!

 

Way cool Skip, I will for sure take you up on the offer. Thank you, I really appreciate it!

I plan to get it cleaned out, tidy the interior, get it running, mildly hop up the banger, fix the roof and drive grandma to get a root beer float! Then probably paint it at a later date!
I was thinking that as well. As you can see the roof is in bad shape. I'm on the hunt for a replacement. Soooo, if anyone is about to make a coupester, or has already, please let me know.

 

Your one lucky guy...give her a big hug and kiss!!!

 

Love the purple wires.
