HiboyGal - I'll answer each point individually ok
1) no - frame is owner built, 2X3x3/16 square tubing
2) owner says it's a '32 but I'm going back for second look armed with all this new info from you kind people and my own recent research - will let you know
3) please see 2)
4) certainly makes sense to me, I've had the opportunity to sit in several other model A and B cars this weekend, all unchanneld and all seemed more roomy
Thankyou

a30coupe - nice car by the way; I've entered the info you've provided in my notebook which travels with me (sure are subtle differences, hope I can tell) - thankyou sir
