Classic Ford Model A Tudor Sedan Hot Rod at N. Austin Fab Shop

Written by Ken Altes

I found this handsome car at the now-defunct Custom Car Crafters.  The headlights are aftermarket items.  E&J (Edmunds & Jones) Type 20 headlights were manufactured by Edmund & James Corporation in Detroit from the 20s, as an aftermarket light used mainly for expensive sporty cars of the time and highly coveted by early hot rodders.

Dig the green cylinder heads on the Chrysler Hemi engine.

Replica of the 1938 Auto Union racing car Type C/D. The original car was saved from cutting into scrap but then exchanged for a replica with Audi AG in 1995. This is the biggest and best auto museum in the Baltics. Visited Riga, Latvia, last year. motormuzejs.lv/index.php/en/
