    So a few years ago I new I wanted a model a hot rod but didn't know a damn thing about them. Went to a farm auction and found this Model A 3 window. Didn't realize till after there is no such thing. Of course I had to wait all day and it was the last thing to sell. I was on till about $550. It sold for $600.

    I beleive it was a special coupe with a section from a tudor put on. Looks not bad actually.

    We went for a drive while waiting for the auction and found this nice Husdon. I love those things.

    I'd say a sport coupe that someone stuck the back part of a steel roof on years ago when the original roof gave out.

    There was a 1931 prototype three window built by Ford, there was an article and pictures in the Restorer several years ago. But I would have to agree that the car pictured was a 28/29 sport coupe with a piece of a sedan top.
