Vehicle Details

Everything works on the car as it should including lights and windows . Tires are Coker Radials , less than 100 miles on them.
Car was driven on a 200 mile round trip this past summer with no problems or issues .
I am selling the car only as I bought a 32 Roadster and don’t have storage for it.
If you are looking for a period correct flathead hot rod, I don’t think there is a finer example left in the US today .
Engine does leak a bit of oil like most all flathead engine, so I do keep a drip pan under it.
