Landau bars are upside down. Whoever restored it is not paying attention.

Looks like the ad has been deleted.  I didn’t see the $30k value compared to others that were listed here for less.

With all due tespect to our great club, a MARC or MAFCA high point car is what you want if you want a very, very correct Model A.

I believe you are half right! They are folded forward cradled next to the folded top as you want them.  If mounted upside down, they fold out to the rear away from the top so that you can hit your face on the hinge when climbing into the rumble seat! Even fold landau irons (or even dummy irons for non-folding tops) have a right, and a left, an up, and a down. There are four possible ways to mount them (not counting the more obvious inside out which if you added that make eight possible ways to mount them?), and only one way is the right way! If I am not being dyslexic, I believe they are on the wrong sides.

You are right in that the arc is the wrong way. Good eye!

IMO, 30 grand is not too much for a correct, well done restoration. I would imagine that it's only a fraction of the restoration costs!
