You're more than welcome Andrew. Incidentally, for clarity's sake the 1930
and 1931 Model A's have a similar appearance. A handy rule to follow if you
ever need to tell them apart is that the 1930 models have a vertical split
in the so-called fender apron. It's visible in your picture just ahead of
the little jockey box on the RH running board. If the car were a 1931 model
that fender apron is solid from front to back.

The earlier Model A's --- the '28 and '29 models, have other distinguishing
features that could easily be missed by a casual viewer but stand out very
plainly to knowledgeable eyes. Mike G is our resident scholar on model
differentiation and he may be able to provide some illustrations.

Welcome to the group. Make yourself at home.
