Guest Prisonmac Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 My father who is 74 said this car was owned by his uncle. I would like to know what it is and if there is anyway to lookup the license plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8096 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 The car is a 1928 or 1929 Ford Model A Tudor. The Model A experts will be able to tell which year. I like the snow chains on the rear wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Prisonmac Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Now I'm getting excited. I've just emailed my Dad to see what other information I can get about this picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Looks like a 1930 Massachusetts plate.I like the black tires. Edited December 15, 2013 by West Peterson (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mellor NJ Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I can't see anything in the picture to tell if it's a 28 or a 29. If the quality was better you could tell by the headlight lenses,fluted on the 28,prismatic on the 29. If it was a rear shot the drum tail light would be a 28, the teacup 29. It's likely a 29 by the numbers produced, almost 2 million 29s, 8 hundred thousand 28s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prs519 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 A bit Apocrophyl, but I believe it is an open-ended bumper. As I recall that is early 28. I am thinking the stainless bushing would show against the tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 If you look at the other end of the bumper it appears to have the bushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Not too likely that it's an open end bumper model. Only the first 200 were so equipped. They always jokingly say out of the original 200 cars,800 have survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Henderson Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Model A's did not have "stainless bushings" between the bars at their ends. They were steel sleeves, painted black. What appears to be air space is probably a black sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
