Folks Of Interest Dakota Kid - do you recognize this 1929 Model A Roadster ?

Does @Dakota Kid or anyone
else here recognize this
1929 Ford Model A Roadster build ?



I transported it several years ago to
the guy sitting behind the wheel who
lived in California from Maine
(if I remember correctly).

I believe it was a Wounded Warrior
build for a disabled vet who never
got the chance to drive it.

I heard the fiberglass nose was made by
Randy Gribble and he might of
designed and built the whole car.

I saw it at the Des Moines Goodguys event years ago. It’s a neat car!

 

Was definately built by Randy Gribble, I remember stopping by there when he was working on it,
if I remember correctly the sinclair logo and color had some family history, he is lake city rod and custom as lettered on the hood.

 

Thanks to Mark Plunkett I found
the build thread on this car here
on the HAMB.

It had full moon discs on it when I saw it in Des Moines.

I have a pic but I can't find it at the moment.

 

Had the discs on it at the Mecum Glendale 2024 sale when I saw it last. It bid to 45,000 and didn't sell

 

Looks so much better with the correct tires and wheel discs on it. Cool car!

 

Yes, so much better with the right profile tires and homemade disks. The dime store radials and five spokes don’t do a thing for the car.
