| This is my 1929 Ford Sport Coupe
that came into my life in 1952 when I was 13. It's a rare Dual Side
Mount Deluxe Model with a rumble seat. I completrd a ground up restoration
of this car in 1955 when I was 16 years old. This taught me all the basics
of automobile mechanics, and launched a lifelong love of cars.
Every part was disassembled, cleaned, painted, and reassembled with even more care than when it rolled off the assembly line 26 years before. It has a hand rubbed lacquer paint job with so many coats it will never need painting again. It was completed during the summer of '55, and I switched off driving it and my '51 Ford Convertible to high School. The '51 is another story, and it's the only "keeper" I didn't' keep. Today (except for the rumble seat occupant), the car looks exactly the same as it did when I completed the restoration in 1955 and still runs like new. Model A Ford Club of America
