Apparently it is a restoration and I was amazed by the excellent paint and the immense foot room in the rumble seat area. My '29 rumble seat is turning out to be just for kids! There were some amazing later model cars with blowers but since the U.S. Gov. now wants 53 mpg and gas is expensive I think the cars with blowers have mostly become show cars or track monsters. Anyway due to my age I like the older cars. Actually I did not see any '35 or '37 Fords there so this '36 will have to do. The fenderless Model A Tudor really caught my eye as a much older rod with 21 stud flathead power and the good old three pipe headers. However the interior was very nice and had apparently been treated to a redo with a mohair kit so the whole car was basically better than a rat rod with lots of nostalgia! Finally I had a good discussion with the owner of a 1930 Model A Tudor that had been chopped by the owner and the chop was really smooth! There was also a very nicely chopped '39 with frenched headlights. Now I will try to attach the photos. Well this not all of what I wanted to send but there seems to be a limit of 5 pictures and I did not get a picture of the whole '36 anyway. In the upper left corner you can see the reflection of my Richmond Nationals T-shirt in the side panel of the '36 coupe. The fenderless Tudor also had a 21 stud flathead! Most of the other pictures I took were of 1929 Ford hood shelves since that is the area of interest to me at this time.

Yeah, Don, that's the downside of posting pics through the "manage attachments". You are limited to 5 pics at a time. If you use Photobucket or something like that, you can post as many "image links" as you want in the body of your post.
Thanks for the pics!!
