    Looking for more info on this roadster. Here is what I’ve been told. The car was built in 1959 and raced in Southern California till 62. When raced it had no windshield solid steel wheels on rear and spindle mount spokes on front. It was pulled off the track in 63 and put on the street in 64 as more of a custom it was driven around the LA area till the 80s when it was put into storage. It was found in an LA garage beginning of last year when the owner passed. It looks like it used to have a club plaque on the rear and the paint interior and carson top all appear to be from 63-64. I posted photos of it when it was found and now that it is cleaned up and back on the street. If anyone has info or can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thank you. 4B5A0FEF-2691-4C9B-A8CF-16F30B903FE8.jpeg 1E747ABF-91B3-4E3A-A399-A3E68FBFB567.jpeg 23F27358-91A6-45E7-8C8D-EAA600009300.jpeg 8127F8BF-1ABC-4D28-ABCF-D7C4B6DD2C3F.jpeg CBBF3E3C-A3BD-49B1-B0A3-8CCC56744A3E.jpeg 997E4B1C-D36C-4C85-9859-0472F00C4986.jpeg 237B33D2-57C1-42B8-ABF0-D3211CAB8817.jpeg CC557965-4CB0-45FF-836E-AEA2C83CB3CD.jpeg DCA293F4-1513-4CEF-8C13-3F9E418EAF5F.jpeg 5E3D14CF-6F0F-40AB-A751-1B42626B585C.jpeg B25AE708-734B-419F-8032-2BC047AF1B8A.jpeg 80674445-A08E-4325-97EE-D89CA9B48FD2.jpeg ECE9D6AC-B97D-4201-8874-95F8D314E0E7.jpeg

    I’ll bet, sooner or later, someone will chime in with the info you’re looking for..I must say that I never realized how cool a Model T rad shell can look on an A Roadster.
