    Not much demand for Model As at any price or is it antique cars in general?

    Not wishing to start a fire, but I, for one, would welcome prices continuing to fall on Model A's. With a young family and a number of volunteer hobbies/causes I'm involved with (no extra time for a second job), spending $10-15k on a Model A certainly isn't in the cards right now. Buying a...

    who lives in Manitoba

    Me! We're south of Elie, out in the country. Don't currently have an A, but learned to drive on an AA... I'm not-so-seriously looking for an A truck or AA.

    On the streets of Dallas

    Sounds good-the S/N should be on a brass plate on the smokebox, flywheel side. If not there will be a boiler number stamped on the back, usually to the right of the firebox door and/or above and near the rear hand hole. Cute little engine for sure...

    On the streets of Dallas

    Guesstimation on the year would be between 1904 and 1910... (doesn't have the semi-circular chain guides on the front axle). That said, I'm not as much of a Case geek as some people I know, could probably get a more accurate date within a few days. Did you grab the serial number?

    On the streets of Dallas

    Certainly an older Case-short smokebox, cast stack, cast heater, 2 row lap. 190? 15HP? That's my best WAG ;)

    How do you avoid people swarming your car when you stop?

    I would put forth that anytime you're driving your old car in public, you're advertising for the hobby. We have much the same thing with the antique steam traction engine hobby-I can't count how many times I've answered "how old is it" or "what does it run on"? That said although they may seem...

    Current values of Modal A's

    I would agree with the above statements. I've been lurking around these parts for a while now, reading and learning-but I don't have the $$ yet to purchase something. What with paying off student loans, rent/mortgage, other family costs (apparently you're expected to feed a child after it's...

    Nobody? This is one case where I was really hoping my research was incomplete ;)

    Model A club in MB?

    HI Everyone: Thanks for all the questions (and answers) posted on here-a non stop source of information and entertainment :) I've looked on the MARC/MAFCA websites, along with some local ones and haven't really found any Model A groups close to scenic Winnipeg. Is anyone aware of any up our...

    That's a great clip-I've watched it a few times :)

    Thanks for the insight-whats a "Henry"?

    Truck values?

    Hi Everyone: I know these sorts of questions are pretty much a shot in the dark, but I'm wondering if anyone might be able to throw out some (very) rough numbers for the following: I'm looking/dreaming about finding an A or AA, body style is not really important to me, in decent running...
