1919 Model T coupe at auction North West PA
This is about 5 miles west of Interstate 79 and 15 miles north of Interstate 80.

I have never seen this car but I know the owner's brother in law.
He said the engine was rebuilt by Kevin Prus.

Russ, I thought Arizona plates back in the day were all copper like the ones that were on my 29 model A roadster when I bought it.
