Bert's in Denver has EVERYTHING....used or new. Great guy to do business with.

Check the drive train to make sure it is lubed and not slopy. The old gent I bougt mine from in a barn in West Virginia mentioned this me when I bought it about 25 years ago. It had not been driven for 30 years. I love taking my grand children and great grand children for rides in it during...

wish I could see it!

About 3 years ago I took my 29 Roadster from Sebassian, FL to Rhode Island. I also wanted to take lots of tools, an air compresser, etc. Rented a small enclosed one way trailer from Uhaul and it wored perfect! Hauled it with my Dodge 2500 diessel.

I have a 29 Roadster that is absolutely wonderful. EVERYONE wants a ride in the rumble seat. You are going to have a ball. This blog is absolutely SOOOO friendly.

Re: Help “A” guy out. I had very similar issue. I took the springs off, took them apart (be VERY careful) and took them to a sandblaster who thoroughly cleaned them and undercoated them. Took them back to my shop and put them back together (used some kind of dry lube but don't rember what it...

Right on!

I think everyone has this problem. I bought a cut out switch from NAPA and installed it just under the fire wall on the positive battery cable. When I shut the A down I turn that switch off and now there is NO juice flowing in the car while it is parked in the garage. Works like a charm...

Hi Melanie, Mr roots come from WV and my 29 Model A was a barn find in Greenbrier County. My mom and dad were born there so I visit that region at least once a year to visit relatives. I am a Florida resident but was born and raised in RI.
