I've heard him speak of the car in the past and the club to which he belongs, Poco Quatros, Model "A" Ford Club of America.

So, there it is. It's a Model "A" Ford. Isn't the internet wonderful.

In the picture on the website, you can see the difference in the wheel sizes. Jerry said that because of the rubber shortage the wheel diameters were changed and they used the available supply of spokes for the larger wheels and to accommodate the smaller wheel the spokes were hand bent to fit.

You can see the bent spokes in the pictures I posted.
