Harry Harrison Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Looks quite similar to a model from the 1927-31 Ford Model A range like this one, with the stone guard removed from the radiator: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_A_(1927–31)#/media/File:1928_Model_A_Ford.jpg I think they would have called it a Deluxe Roadster, so actually more like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_A_(1927–31)#/media/File:Ford_A_de_Luxe_Roadster_blue_vrd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should point out that Avpics got the actual car, goodness knows how (hotline to Wim?). Bye the bye I remember passing a silver 'statue' of a Model T Ford on the way down from Cork to Skibbereen on my only trip to Ireland. I expect you know it, I think it's in the village that Henry Ford's father came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep telling myself to take a pic every time i pass it. Thanks to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsphinx Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 At the risk of ruining Avpics reputation I find it is worth googling registration numbers. In the UK doing so for any car gives a good chance of getting make and model for UK plates (the exception is if the number plate has been sold as private and used on a different vehicle) - with classics and rarities like the one here there is a good chance it will show up no matter what country the registration plate is from. This also works with things like traction engines - if they have any sort of name or number on them google it. It is amazing what you can find out.
