Howdy Folks !

I have joined this forum at the recommendation of my friend and Monitor Top comrade, Chris J.

I have several of the beasts, two 1933-34 CA, one 1936-7 CK, and two DR-2, one with porcelain cabinet and nickel edge-trim & corners, the other with painted ice box.

All work ( to some degree, no pun intended ).

My goal(s) are to have at least one to use in our kitchen as the everyday fridge, and save / find good homes for the rest.

I love all things old, and try to use them as much as possible; for instance, my daily driver is an unrestored 1928 Model A Ford Coupe ( when the weather is not salty ).

Looking forward to joining "the club" !

Regards,

FrostyFrank

Hi Frank,

Welcome to the forum! We have at least one member that is into the model T named cablehack. I want to say there was another member as well but I can't remember who.

Frank is who my copper monitor top came from a few years back.

Great to have you here! I'd be keeping all of those monitor tops. You just need a globe top, flattop, and liftop to complete the prewar collection. Always room for another fridge!
And yes, good choice of daily driver - you can't go wrong with vintage Fords. Mine is a 1926 T tourer.
