This unit seems peculiar because it has not the standard tires of 4.50 X 21 inches mounted on wire wheels.The disk wheels seen here could be originals of 1931 that were mounted with the broader General Tire Company Jumbo tires, a non-factory equipment.These were inflated at 12 lbs and gave a better attenuation of shocks.They could also be a later mount.One can also spot a boot installed cargo box , a device often seen on American coupes of the thirties , allowing for transportation of small loads in the open without necessitating a pick up truck and this may also explain the use of broader tires.I would go for a 1931 car. |

Well, it is not SO dark, but it is dark anyway. I wrote that in the afternoon, and there was sun here. The picture was appearing nearly completely black on my monitor. Now it looks better. |

This is a 31 model A rumble seat coupe that has had the rumble seat cut out and a Ford pickup bed welded in quite hastily. My dad still drives it in the same paint job with the bullet holes visible from the squibs.and still has the strange rectangular side mirror. It's pretty rough. We had to source a new headlight bar and headlights for it. It has the original engine but someone over the years has cut the intake manifold and converted it to a downdraft carburetor. pic=34377/24/img_20230903_154529.jpg -- Last edit: 2024-04-27 06:47:10 |
