: Hi Todd, : Welcome to the Model A hobby.Since you're online, you may want to check out the web sites of the two national Model A organizations. : Model A Restorers Club (MARC) can be found at : Model A Ford Club of America (MAFCA) can be found at : There is a list of chapters and members with e-mail addresses onMAFCA's website.You may want to check there for a chapter near you and for members with e-mail near you. : You mentioned that you're looking for a 1931 Coupe convertible. You may be thinking of a style that we now call a cabriolet. : Model A's came in several body styles: : A Sport Coupe was similar but had a non-folding soft top. : There's a bunch of good books on the Model A Ford and they can help you learn more about the cars and their history.Again, the MAFCA website has a list of them (try the "Reference Desk" page) and then check out your local library. : Good luck in your search.Remember that most Model A owners are really happy to assist others finding cars, parts and service providers, so get in touch with one of us. In addition to Rick's valuable information, get a copy of Hemmings Motor News found at the local book stores.It is a monthly publication that has ads for all cars, services, supplies and parts.There is a good selection of Model As in each issue.Chances are you will find a Cabriolet in one of the issues. |
