    Hi,
    I just bought a 31 Model A Coupe from a man with medical problems. He bought it in 2005 in Flordia, moved it to Conn.. I'm trying to find out some history of it. Year built etc. What I found out so far is, it was black, 2" chop, filled roof, 49 flathead, 49 Ford dash sectioned in 2 pieces, still 6 volt. I just found a tag from the Downshifters of Brooklyn in a box of stuff I got with the car, could be from N.Y. Thanks in advance for any help.
    Ed.

    Wow so there it is! I sorta knew the guy that owned it. His name was Greg. One day he pulled up to our shop in Port Richey Fl. in that car. I've often wondered what became of it. Don't know much about the car except that I sat in it and instantly fell in love. You have a nice piece. I will mention this to a couple friends and see what I can dig up as far as detail. Meanwhile enjoy that thing!

  12. There should be remnants of "Lord of Flatbush" painted on the quarter panel behind the doors... The "r" in lord done like the gun in the Sopranos logo (Some jack*** name Mike did it)... if it's the same, and I think it is... the wood wheel and red dash is visible... that flatty ran perfect.

    Gred F is on the right, Don "One Eye" Steuernagel is on the left... another Don is on the middle
