the listing says 1930 .

sounds like plenty of work in it.

I wonder where the 1200 hours of labor in the paint came from? At $40.00 an hour that would add up

The body on that thing is wrong. It doesn't look like a Deuce or an "A"; It looks confused to me. The 3/4 rear view pic looks really awkward, the roofline is goofy, neither fish nor fowl..... :?:

That guy has really bad vision...sorta like trying to make a real model A out of one of those Glassics that came with Pinto or IHC Scout stuff under them. Too ugly for words....

I've never heard of Steetwise bodies. :?:

Doesn't do much for me either. Reminds me of some of the bodies where the manufacturer tries to capture the "essence" of a particular model, but takes some license with the design elements.

Not much I like about this one.

It might be one of those Model A three window phantom bodies produced by a company in Kansas. I think they had a visor molded in but it has been a long time since I have seen an ad. Maybe they removed it. Hmm. I wish they had posted a side shot.

Here's one of those Model A 3 window phantom's. Don't think this is the body the ebay guy used. This body is quite a bit more faithful to the original body style

Ive seen the 31 3 window body bwfore but never one that was done? I like it but there is sumpin about the lines at the rear of the side window that I just dont like. Ill have to think about that for a while. maybe they threw too many curves in it and that may spoil the squareish a look for me.

Yeah, it an OK idea and well done body, but I wouldn't want one. That's one Phantom I could do without.
