    Hello again. Kind of new here and still learning to navigate the HAMB. Please set me straight if I wonder. Great reading the stories and seeing all the rides.
    So, im looking for a '30 Model A 2dr sedan my dad owned from about 1970 til 1987, in which he traded it for a T-bucket with a guy by the name of Ken Ryan in Springfield, Oregon. The car was all steel, painted a blue about like a 67 chevelle marina blue. It had alum slotted mags. The front fenders and hood were grey primer/sealer. Still had the vinyl top. All the side glass was plexi-glass. I think dad said it had an olds rearend. The frame was NOT boxed, but was set up for a sbc and a 4spd. The interior was black tuck-n-roll done in tijuana. There was no engine or trans when Dad traded it. As soon as I figure out how to load pictures to the sight, I'll post some.
    My dad was a MacTool salesman in San Francisco and Springfield, Oregon until 1987. He passed away in 2006. Because my stepmother and I never saw eye to eye, she wouldn't allow me to even buy his tools or the 32 Ford 4dr Sedan we had been building. She sold that car in McDonough, Georgia. I would like to locate that car as well.
    I would really love to be able to find Dads car and continue cruisin around with Dads memory. Any help locating the car would be greatly appreiciated.

    even with pics it will just be a stroke of luck to find the cars - most everything on them may have been changed and even you might not recognize them. keep an eye on the -bay web site, NSRA, GoodGuys,etc. ya never know. still posting pics will help a little. do a search here for proper way to post pics - lots of info.

    Thanks for info/advice.
    I understand the unlikely chances, but I have to look somewhere. Hoping maybe someone on here may know someone who picked it up some time back. You just never know.
