    Old yellow has a sad story,:( We purchased a 1928 Model A five years ago and not having room for two we sold yellow to a guy locally that restores tractors and cars, all was well for a year, the next winter he had some furnace work done on his " showroom " a 70x120' building that was full of restored cars and tractors, 22 in all. Well one night shortly after the furnace was repaired the building caught fire. Completely burned to the ground, close to $600,000 loss in vehicles not to mention the building.
    Old yellow was a crisp, anything that could burn did. The only thing left was body and frame and motor.
    The fire did not however warp the body, the metal on those things is about 1/8" thick. So it has been sold and once again being rebuilt, should see the road again late next year.

    That dash looks familiar. It's the same dash that was on the car my grandfather had when he first introduced me to driving.
