I've been thinking about getting another Model A, I would like to get a Pickup but I'm afraid I might not fit. I have a late 1931 tudor now. I've had a coupe a fordor and other tudors, are pickups that tight or would I be better off looking for another Fordor. Thank You for any input.

I put used diesel oil in my A that sat since 1971, it took about 3 weeks to free up. make sure you take the carb and exhaust off. after that it fired up and ran great.:)

Thank You all for the replys, this should help me.

Is there a way to tell if a late 31 is originaly a deluxe? I know you could restore one to be a deluxe but is there something to look for.

Re: ammeter Before I took the old harness out I wrote down the connections and it was wired backwards so when I put in the new harness I wired it the right way. That's when I saw that it showed discharge, I followed the advice of the replys and my lights showed charge when not running. I now...

My late 1931 Model A that sat for 45 years, when I drive it the clutch grabs, what I mean is that when I let it out it's not smooth. Is this something that will go away the more I drive it or will I need a new clutch?

After getting my 31 tudor sedan running, one of my sons wanted to hear it yesterday (4th). The car sat for 45 years on blocks and I freed up the engine so I put some gas in a temp gas can and fired it up, it still smoked a lot but I drove it out of the garage under it's own power. I let it idle...
