Personal Information


I bought a 1928 Tudor Sedan, Type 55A in November of 1999.  It was purchased new by a mechanic in Elk City, Oklahoma.  You have heard the bailing wire stories - well that's what he did.  But, he kept it running.  There is a 1986 inspection sticker on the windshield.  Upon the death of the original owner, his family decided to sell it.  A young man, in Elk City, bought it from the estate and was planning to make a Hot Rod of it ( which would have been a criminal offense).  His wife, however, stated that she wanted her space in their garage and she was not going to park in the ice & snow. She told him that he must sell either his work pickup or the Model A.  Guess what???  Again, I was the first one there with $$$$$$$$.   He even delivered it to my brother-in-law, Ronnie Baskett in Cooperton, OK.  He drove it off the trailer!!!

That's the original front license tag - 1928 Oklahoma!   The "Moon Roof" has since been covered for protection from the weather.

This car is all original.  NO Dents, only one small rust spot AND IT RUNS!!!!  I drove it onto the trailer to bring it to Benton over the 1999 Thanksgiving Holidays.  It needs a paint job, interior & top.  I've decided to spend the next several years and do a complete, authentic restoration.  You can't depend on someone else to do anything right.  I have decided to take whatever time it takes and do it myself.  I am going to make this a museum quality, MAFCA 400+ point show car.  Time & care is the only thing different in making this a "Driver" & a "Show Winner".  All of the parts costs would be the same.  This car is complete except for very few items.  All of the plating is bad and will need to be replaced.  I stole it but had to spend $925 to rebuild the transmission in the ‘93 Explorer & $450 in modifications to the trailer.

It has participated in the 4th Annual Toys for Tots caravan from Benton to Little Rock, 25 miles each way, and in the Saline County Christmas Parade.  A real crowd pleaser.
