Jay Wolf Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I removed the grill guard and the side mount mirror from my Model A. I think it looks better without the guard was too fancy for a $380 1928 Model A roadster.I also add something other than the 1928 Plate.Do you see it.

61 Sport Sedan Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Nice car, but I think I like it better with the grille guard. Did you add a sidemount cover? Brendan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I see turn signals, now and wind wing mirror on the driver's side.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 JayMuch better. My father-in-law did the exact same thing after buying his. Took off the quail and grille guard, and put on a 1930 Michigan plate. I told him if he puts white sidewall tires on it, I'd disown him (all his Model A friends told him to put the whites on). Looks like I won out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Wolf Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 You got it!! Since I plan on driving it and at times I get caught out after dark I added turn signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Jay, It looks much better.West, you are correct about the Black Wall Tires. If they were good enough for Henry Ford they are good enough for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Model A stone guards make great meet plaque display boards.Blackwall tires on an A will draw a crowd, and make the car stand out in the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 The Model A was designed without a grill. The grill guard hides the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F&J Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I like the changes a lot. I also like the way you did the signal lights. They really are needed these days, sad to say.I like blackwalls also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Blackwalls and no stone guard is the only way to go i my personal opinion. Does anyone on this forum have a photo of a new car (in the low price field), as delivered with the accessory stone guard and whit walls (include also Chev, Pontiac, Essex, Plymouth).PS I am not trying to offend those who have and like the accessories. It is really neat to see some of the low priced three or four all dressed up for a party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Wolf Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Well I removed the tire cover, I was taking it off the clean the well and under the cover and after being on for years it took 30 minutes to get it off and one of the seems is starting to give way so I don't think I will put it back on.For turn signals I used some cheap Motorcycle lights I got off Ebay all 4 for $7.99. Only problem I has when removing the 12 volt bulb, one of the cheap china bulbs busting and cut my thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
