    Daily Driver For Over A Year

    I joined here in August of 2014, just as I was buying a 1931 Tudor for daily use. I sold my Cadillac CTS-V to buy it, and a lot of people though that I was a little crazy for replacing it with an 83 year old car with the intention of using as my main transportation. I didn't even drive my...

    I tried searching a bit, but did not find quite the answer to my problem. Two nights ago, my daily driven Model A started making an odd noise, seemingly coming from the engine at somewhat low rpm under load. I have continued to drive the car back and forth to work the past couple of days, still...

    Help keep a grown man from crying

    Hello All! I'm pretty new here and a week ago purchased my first Ford Model A, a restored Tudor sedan. I've driven it everywhere I normally go since buying it-to my shop, errands etc. I was expecting some issues and well I've got some! The positive is I love this thing so far-what a fun car to...

    Reliability

    I'm sure this has been covered here at some point, but I'm new here and still learning the site! Buying my first model A this weekend and it will be my daily driver. Any advice on making this car-or keeping it-reliable? My plumbing service shop puts 15-20,000 miles per year on forty year old vw...
