Vehicle Detail

Here we have a 1931 Model A 5 Window Coupe for sale. Vehicle is mechanically very sound. Car needs paint job to finish it. Since I was running the vehicle in Vintage Car Rally Association rallies, I worried about the mechanically aspects and not the looks of the car. It is what is called ‘10 footer.’ There are some rust bubbles on the finders at the running board ends, chipped paint and etc. Nothing major and rest of body is in very good shape. Chrome is excellent. I have a full hood assembly which will go with the car. Trunk lid latch does not work properly. I can’t seem to get it to stay locked hence the leather straps. Decals come off easily when heated up with hair dryer.I would concern a trade, looking for a pre-war convertible in good shape. Purchased vehicle in 2009 from a private seller.
