    Is this a Model A Accessory Hub Cap?

    Thank you A Model A for attaching these images from the book. I have the book and did not recall seeing those. Sure enough I have the Kingsley Miller illustration, but not the one of the full wheel. Mystery solved. Thanks everyone.

    Is this a Model A Accessory Hub Cap?

    Little Trailer behind a Model A

    I just pulled this Mullins trailer 1,000 miles to a national Model A event in Oshkosh, WI in June. I had no problems pulling it with a decent load and I rarely could tell it was back there. The worst part is lack of visibility and backing up. Those little trailers turn on a dime. Like any...
