Hello All, The last couple of days, my new to me, 24T has not been starting - just constant turning on the starter. Today I hooked it up to my model A via jumper cables thinking my battery didn’t have enough charge to start it. I turned the key to battery, the coils buzzed for less than a...

Part Identification - ‘24 Tudor Hello, I am a new member here and recently purchased a 24 Tudor. I am wondering if anyone can identify these brackets and what they are used for? All the photos I have searched have no brackets like these. Much appreciated!

Like I said, mine is on rear floor, and mine is a late 28 phaeton. Engine assembled in October acording to records which means by the time it was shipped and car was built, it probably wasn't sold until 29. Mine also only has the ca prefix, not a 3 letter. I should see the car in the next few...

My storage is under rear floor as well. All ash there too.

I do not plan on selling this car in my lifetime, and I hope my son won't either. That being said, does the Australian build affect value? I'm going to keep digging and get a whole history of this car put together!

Called my grandpa, and it is in fact ash. It has some evidence of a RHD conversion! This is getting interesting. I wonder why someone payed to ship to the U.S. And convert when they could buy one here...

If anyone could post some pictures of what I should be looking for it would be greatly appreciated

I'll have to check on that when I see it...

I also remember him saying it was built out of a different type of wood then his other model a's. Did they use a certain type of wood in Australia? I won't be around the car for a few months, and will take very detailed pictures then.

Yes, seat risers are made from wood. Numbers are ca55443 Like I said there is a plate under the seat saying it's built in Australia. My grandfather once mentioned a conversion from rhd, although I don't see much evidence.

Hello, Yesterday, I learned that my model A was Canadian based on all of the build numbers, black emblem, and front bumper clamps. Today, after having someone go look at the car, try noticed a plate under the seat that says its Australian. I was hoping someone could provide insight on the...

Also, The car has a plate under the seat saying it was assembled in Australia... I have done some research, and have found that Australian cars would have Canadian build numbers. Does anyone know about the Australians? Should I create another post for this?

If anyone could provide input on what the correct bumper clamps are for the rear Canadian bumper, and any other parts it should have, I would appreciate it. Also, do the judging books show correct Canadian, or only us parts?
