Diehard Model A

Michigan plates on a car seen in West Virginia in winter? Must be extended touring season. :)

 

With respect to winter salt, etc.: When I got my 40 year old '33 Plymouth it was a upstate NY rust bucket. Pretty much all I could afford as a student. And I used it as my everyday car for several years fixing and patching as budget and time allowed. But later when I was more established I did a frame off restoration of it with new metal welded in where needed. The car is pretty much a fair weather driver now but it survived the ravages of rust by being a special car for me.

 

We don't know the back story on the car pictured. But it may be or become a special car for them to lavish the attention it will need to reverse the wear and tear winter driving can cause.

Hello I can remember at car shows Model A were very popular usually about half the cars were A s now seems to be rare to see any pre war cars even at AACA shows mostly rot rods and muscle cars. I have a 49 Buick and sometime it’s one of the oldest car there.

Hi all

 

All is not lost, the Buick Club of New South Wales (Australia) has seen quite a resurgence of pre-war Buicks over the last few years. I attended a meet in late 2017 where about more than half of the cars attending were pre-war. We even had 5 1936 Buick 40's attend. There were more '30s Buicks in attendance at our event than at the Denver Nationals.

 

Cheers
Paul
