If that is the same car it has had the beltline replaced at some point on the rear corners of the roof.
Researched the Model A a little more and found this book which includes a little more about the A and why it evolved from it's original form.
I hope my earlier comment isn't misconstrued. I was not implying it isn't the same car. Just surprised more than anything that the beltline molding was added back.
Initially it looks like the top of the grill shell is a T, but after looking closer it looks to be a 31 p***enger car with the top insert out and replaced with a different piece. Maybe they cut a T upper shell and inserted it in place of the 31 upper insert.
Nice feature. Really brings me back. When I started working for Darrell Zipp in early `88, he took me over to Larry`s Wrecking yard. It was only about ten minutes from the Shop. Here, we were invited in to see Kent Fuller working on that very same 32 Roadster that was in your follow up pics. About that time, Neal East stopped by with Paul Winson and asked if we would be interested in doing some work on his Roadster ...Yes, The Doane Spencer one.....
Nice! Great story too. Great to know a few y-blocks were used in the day. Intrigued by those headers, you guys think they're one offs?
Hello, My name is Aaron Ready and Larry and Sharon Ready are my parents. My dad doesn't use a computer but if there any questions about the 28, I would be more than happy to ask him. The car has a very special place is his heart as it was with my mom before they got married. Some ask why he sold the car and like many others, it was so they could purchase their first home and start a family. The hobby is has been a very important part of our family and continues today. Thank you for all of the very kind words as my mom p***ed away this past year. Have a great weekend to you all. AR
