I thought I collected all the “A”’s I wanted, but I stumbled on this one on eBay for $9.99 or best. I figured what the heck and made an offer of $26-, it looked good in the pics, but didn’t have the box.The seller accepted my offer and here we are!

 I’m always wary of a loose model, especially one that looks this delicate, but when I received it, it was in perfect condition with both tops. The model is insanely cool, way better than I ever thought. For such a small model it’s full of neat little details that made it a centerpiece for me.

This model of the Soviet made Model A is one that maybe of interest. Hachette et al static model.

The Good Humor Icecream truck is one I am missing from your collection.

OMG! Kevin! Hide it in the closet and stay low for about a year! The police might stop searching by then. You absolutely STOLE it!  CONGRATULATIONS! Well bought and it came to you in flawless condition! 

One of my favorite DM's and a favorite '31. DM did me the honor of sending me the #1 model for review. I have it with all my DM 1931's.

LOVE your '31 Geoff. The top & interior colors really set it off!

@perrone1 I noticed the #1 on your model Tony, your review is partly the reason I bought the model. Another reason being I have no self control! Geoff’s Model A really is a standout! Love it.

@perrone1 Wow Tony, that was fast. I was going to edit to ask you your opinion on the phaeton, top up or down?

It sits with '31 convertibles - all with tops down, and its boot in place. The coupes are also together.

These are all in a case that is nearly impossible to photo due to light conditions and flash rebounds.

Great models guys. Out of my realm of collecting, but it doesn't mean I don't appreciate them.😊💯

@geno Be careful Geno, once I got started on the ‘30’s Fords, I couldn’t stop. I knew I liked the rods, but the stockers are another kind of cool!
