Sold

Well, as life goes, so do deals. The car I was wanting to buy is still available. That means, this 160B is back on the market. Contact me if interested. I have lots of additional pictures and a video of the engine running. The speedometer is currently being rebuilt by Leonard Nichols, so I...

For Sale. 1931 Model A Slant Window Town Sedan (160-B). Car runs great. Located in Franklin, Tennessee. I have owned it for about a year. Only selling because there's another project I would like to buy. It is an older restoration. Mohair interior was also replaced sometime in the past. New...

Looking for a couple of Sears AllState Nylon tires. Need two total. No cracks and decent treads. Have seen a few posted around the $35-$45 range a while back (not including shipping). Send me a PM if you have any. Thanks! -Blake

Thanks, Mitch! I will definitely look for him when I want to get them rebuilt.

They are definitely original as far as I can tell. I added fluid to the fronts, and they don't seem to be leaking too bad. I will get it added to the back as well and see. When I was adding fluid I couldn't get it in the rear ones without removing the wheel and didn't have time when I did it...

Newbie shock question. I tried searching for this specific question, but I came up with nothing. My '31 SW Town Sedan has the original stocks still on it, but they were bone dry, so my assumption is that they are probably not what would be considered, "in good working order." I don't...

Can confirm! David is extremely helpful and knows his stuff. -Blake

Renner's for sure! The Marvel carb is super simple to work on, and a lot of guys say that it is a much better carb than the Tillostons or Zeniths (more power, doesn't starve for fuel at hard stops, etc). It was sold as an aftermarket replacement carb in the 40's (give or take a few years) by...

Keeps the kids from falling out. :D -Blake

I keep reading..."just use RainX." So, there's that. :D -Blake

One more link: http://www.mafca.com/tqa_wipers.html Get Les Andrews Model A Vol 1 book too if you haven't already. Tons of great info in there and possibly even a step by step on what you are looking for. I don't have my copy with me or I would look to see. -Blake
