Genuine Type "A" Factory Soft Top Bows:

Cruiser Nerd · 12-29-2004, 08:15 PM

I don't know about these cheezy doors:

Cruiser Nerd · 12-29-2004, 08:17 PM

And what the heck is this thing?

Cruiser Nerd · 12-29-2004, 08:19 PM

And what's with these wiper motors?

Cruiser Nerd · 12-29-2004, 08:22 PM

At least I got the high performance F motor!

cruiserbrett · 12-29-2004, 08:26 PM

where'd ya score that? Love those early heaters. and of course the soft top bows are unusual...

Is that the rare 12v "futuristic Boom box" radio screwed to the underside of the dash?

romer · 12-29-2004, 08:26 PM

Nice looking rig. Did you paint it Green?

That's just the speakers. The Wal-Mart special receiver got cut right into the dash!

Nah, got it that way, the paint is what scared me off for the longest time, didn't know what it was hiding........turned out to be nothing much to worry about.

Pin Head · 12-29-2004, 09:36 PM

Wow, it looks just like the one in the Toyota museum in Gardena. Same color.

RustyNailJustin · 12-29-2004, 09:38 PM

A few more than I can afford. I intended to keep the bows and doors, and a few of the other odds and ends, then sell it. This one has got to stay together though.

I thought you'd like the color Gene!

Pygpen · 12-30-2004, 06:19 AM

Is that the one "featured" in the old catalog for.......
cant remember the name of the company....
I think they were in Tenesee.
The pictures look like they are right out of the catalog.
I'll try to find it tonight.
