Up for auction is this rare barn fresh 1929 Model A 3 window fordor Taxi. Flathead 4 cylinder 3 speed. I purchased this from a 91y/o gentlemen who owned it for years and he claimed it to be an original NYC ace cab company cab. I can't prove or disprove the claim but had no reason to doubt him. He did say he retouched some paint on the decals and some parts of the car but only freshened it up exactly as it was. We just put in some gas, ew plugs, leaned the points and she lit right up. Runs fine, rives but have not gone far with it. Trans was supposed to be rebuilt at some point but is a little noisy. Shifts into all gears though. I'm not sure on all the things that are original and the things that may have been added but the car is truly barn fresh and what you see is what you get, have not even washed it. Needs restoring but what an amazing, ool, nd rare car to start with. Great for your collection or as promotion for your business! Would be very cool to see this thing haul passengers again! Any questions or for more info feel free to call me at 518-281-803eight. Can help arrange with shipping. Car is about an hour east of Albany NY. Thanks for looking!
