1928

1928 Special Coupe - owned by Jim and Christine Morris of Newfield, NY. Jim purchased the car from his Father in 1977. It was in a local barn, unrestored, and in disassembled pieces. Jim partially restored it over the course of seven years, drove it in the mid-80s, and then put it on blocks in 1988. The car was re-registered and on the road again in 2001. It underwent body off restoration in 2004. It has a trunk, not a rumble seat, so it has plenty of space for those overnight trips! Henry Ford was said to have driven a Special Coupe in 1929.

We have driven "Bess" over 56,000 miles since. She's a super road car, hiding a B cam and B head for a good 50 HP and easy 55 MPH driving. Also running a 6# pressurized cooling system to aid that small 1929 radiator."

1929 Tudor Sedan owned by Carl Coffman of Shawnee, OK who writes, "We bought this 1929 Tudor Sedan in October, 1964 for $70. The Tudor had no top, no interior, no windows and no paint. As you can see by the "before" picture I did some "poor boy" work to check the rust. I installed a solid plywood top and hand painted it with a brush. Even though this was not a good thing to do, my efforts did preserve it until 1997, when I began a two year, frame off restoration. In September, 1999, the finished product became road worthy as shown in the "after" picture. "

1930

1930 Standard Coupe owned by Bobby Chaisson of Jefferson GA, who writes, "My 1930 Standard coupe was purchased in 1930 by my great grandfather. It was driven here on our farm for quite sometime, then parked in one of the barns here where it remained till 2 years ago. In November of 2004 restorer Benny Bohanan came to the house and picked up the car. Work started the next week on the car and continued till April 11, 2006 when I took the car home. I started helping Benny part time on my car and it has now turned into a full time job working for Benny. I was able to do a lot of the work myself."

1931 Deluxe Tudor Sedan - owned by Rick & Dana Black of El Paso, TX. Rick joined MAFCA in 1967 and found this rare Tudor sitting under a tree near Los Angeles in 1968. It had been sitting undisturbed for 17 years - the 1951 license plates were still intact. The car's roof had caved in and the interior was filled with debris. All the upholstery had rotted and fallen off the springs, which were rusted beyond use. However, all the interior items were still intact, including the adjustable drivers seat, armrests and assist straps in the back seat, etc. In fact, the only parts missing from this car were the back bumpers and the oil filler cap! An amazing find.

1931 Station Wagon (Woody) owned by John & Nancy Firth of Grants Pass, Oregon. The restoration of this rare beauty was completed in 1987, just in time for its photograph to appear on the cover of Volume 32 Issue 2 of The Restorer Magazine (July/August 1987). A mighty-fine restoration indeed.

1931 Victoria owned by Jim & Della Icenhower of Mansfield, Texas. This Victoria was one of 25 Model A's stored in a barn in Kilgore, Texas for 31 years. (See the article, "Model A Heaven" by Charlie Viosca, in the Sept./Oct. 1989 issue of The Restorer. The Victoria can be seen in the top right photo against the corner of the barn.) The car was in pretty fair shape before restoration with only minor repair work to the wood header needed. Some work had begun after the long storage but was given up and the car was bought by Jim in 1994. It had been painted the light tan color sometime during its life, but the color under the patent plate and on the inside of the doors was definitely Ford maroon! Submitted by proud son John Icenhower.
