This is my 1929 Model A Roadster, ORIGINAL HENRY STEEL. This hot rod is as traditional as it gets, not just in styling but also in parts. It is thequintessential post-war 1948 hot rod, with about 90% of its parts no older than '48. It took me 3 years to hunt down parts and build this car because I wanted it to be as accurate as I possibly could make it, within reason. I drive this car often and it definitely has signs of normal wear and tear. This car is not made to sit in a garage and be shown off to friends, it was built for the road andthe true enthusiast. If you want a car with more character than Disney, then this true piece of American history is where you'll get it.
