    These our my favorite Model A's can anyone tell me what magazines they were in ? The Russ Meeks A was in Hot Rod Oct. 1966 but the Davies A coupe and the flaked truck I can't find

    Any other history, info and pictures would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Scott

    You would probably have to look in car show coverage from the mid/late 60's for the truck. The Coupe came out in a magazine right about the time I graduated from high scoool but I don't remember much about it. Russ showed the A all over the west coast and maybe further in that era. I think one of his family is on here and may add some info.

    Those are some of my favorite A's too, especially the gold flake truck. I think I have the magazine(s) the truck was in, there was a feature when the wheels were raw, then another feature with the fully polished wheels as shown.

    Having trouble replying to your personal message. So here's the only photos I took in Portland in 1967. What happened to Russ' car?

    I like that Coupe, could someone photoshop the 28-29 front fenders off the Pickup to it? Bob
