1930 Model A 5 Window Coupe

You are viewing a very cool 50’s style Model A Hot Rod.  The car was fully restored as stock in the 80’s.  Purchased 5 years ago with all updates done in the last 2 years as stated in the rest of the description.  Less than 50 miles on the car since completed.  Vern Tardel AV8 method was used on most everything in the build.
