Came across a ‘31 Deluxe Tudor for sale about 20 years ago and it had this unusual ( at least to me ), rear trunk. All original car and in very solid condition…. with this side access - right side door. The trunk interior was very clean and dry for its age. The asking price for the Ford was...

I am planning on returning to Turlock for to the terrific Modesto Area A’s annual swap meet. The show goes on this year after a year off due to Covid. I am probably going to play it safe and for the first time go on Sunday, due to still being cautious about Covid.... lungs aren’t what they used...

Model A Fords came in a variety of colors and models - question is: Does your car have any unique or unusual additions or deletions of equipment as built by Ford? I have included a picture of our 1930 Deluxe Coupe, built in San Francisco CA (SFA), sold new on Oct. 11, 1930 in Oakland CA. Dad...

Hey there A'ers. Repaint time - New "cool original" color like Washington Blue/Tacoma Cream OR the original black? Car dead stock '30 Deluxe Coupe - "Annie" has been in the family since 1958. Repainted by my Dad in 1979 with his favorite '31 Deluxe Roadster color of Washington Blue & Tacoma...

Did you guys notice the effort that Frank and Mike, "The Pickers" on American Pickers, went through to get to a '32 Roadster body shell out of a barn? In southern Ill. on a recent show, they had to "remove" = drag out a very nice and complete "barn find" stock Model A Victoria. It was a...

If you have a mind to, check out the new Eastwood film on J. Edgar Hoover. Movie was OK - BUT loaded with Model T's and A's. Of personal interest was Mr. Hoover being driven around in a sweet '31 S/W Sedan. The sound effects are the real McCoy Ford going through the gears................ Very...
