    I sold my 1930 Model A back in 1997; and this was last seen in Temperance, Michigan. My particular Model A had a 4" chop and featured a steel roof without canvas. This also had a 1932 grille. The interior was gray. I have attached an old photo of my car.

    If anyone has seen this car, or knows the current owner; I would appreciate any information and your help locating my old street rod.

    Thank you for your time and help

  2. Any changes from the picture time to when you sold it other than the grille change?
    Also, those wheels are not HAMB friendly and your post might get deleted unless you block them out.

    Man, 1997 is almost 30 years ago. Unless it was parked long ago and has little visibility, it is unlikely to still look anything like the OLD photo.

    Look for an ad offering the wheels for sale - they would have been the first things to go.
    Check out past Hickory Ridge car shows to see if it was there.

    I am looking for my hair and waistline from 1997. Alas, I think the odds are about the same as finding your old car looking anything like it did. Good luck to booth of us.

    If you knew what the VIN was,someone maybe could search it for you. What about contacting the person who bought it? Plus, it looks like less than 10K people live in Temperance, ,MI. Check with some old mechanics or local records.

    Just another one of those threads where a newbie OP asks for help and then never returns.
