Fully Restored, Fully Awesome

Rick Brennes, of Driftwood, shows off his 1931 Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster.

The convertible includes a rumble seat that folds down, and an actual “trunk” (like a travel luggage trunk) that is attached over the rear bumper and closes with the use of leather straps. “Everything on this car is original. It was restored in 1999, and I’ve taken it on trips as far as College Station. It’s a reliable car,” Brennes said of his treasure.
