Just got the latest issue of The Restorer Vol 70 Issue 6. There is an article I would like to suggest that you read: One Last Model A Drive Together. This isn't a story about finding a dusty and rusty car and making it a show winner. It's one about a family's history with several Model A's with...

I have a very original 1936 Standard Tudor. I want to be in communication with a top carburetor guy who can put together/sell an original carburetor with the correct high altitude needles. I currently live at about 5,000 feet. In its previous life the Tudor lived at sea level. My idea is to...

Just want you all to know that there are four of us (2 from California, 1 from Idaho and myself from Montana) who will be sharing a giant swap space at the MARC meet in Oshkosh. Lots ...maybe tons... of NOS, restored and great original stuff. Three of us should be getting our space ready Sunday...

I have an engine that last ran about 10 years ago. A while back I had heard good things about Marvel Mystery Oil. Now that I am thinking of using some in this engine I find that they have products for use in the oil and for use in the gas. Need some advice on which to use on engines that...

Need a back seat, bottom cushion for my '29 Leatherback. Prefer it to be upholstered with some type of material. Both cushions for the back seat would be fine. Please send photos and a price to a495dean@gmail.com Thanks 'Barners.

Here's a question for you old timers or someone who learned from an old timer. Is there a "homegrown" method to determine an oil's viscosity? Basically, how can you tell whether a car has winter or summer oil? I remember the Prell shampoo commercial when I was a kid. They would put a pearl...

As many of you know, I have put A495 up for sale. It's on page 346 in the October Hemmings. With that in mind, I have begun to get some interest. Some are semi-legit tire kickers. Others...well, there are others. The latest is a person who said that they will pay full price but I cannot contact...

For a couple days now I have been getting A495 ready for Dearborn. Freed from its trailer, I enjoy sitting next to it each night and reminiscing about the folks who have helped along the way. I think about the places I found all those very rare parts. Then I thought, this Phaeton has many, many...

Howdy Fellow Model A'ers, Staying in the hobby Though A495 is up for sale I am not withdrawing from the Model A hobby. Several of you sent me an e-mail asking about and I wanted to clarify. I am withdrawing myself from future fine point competitions, but I will always have A38131, my barn find...

It’s with a very heavy heart that I have now officially put A495 up for sale. It is arguably one of the finest restorations of a Model A and an extremely detailed restoration of the earliest Model A’s. It will be advertised on Fordbarn and in Hemmings Motor News. After the restoration A495 was...

This has happened to Model A guys so I am asking about what to do on this forum. My wife and I rent out our renovated barn for vacations and events. The scam that is being offered is the old "The check that I am sending you is for over the amount. Please cash it and send me the amount that is...

1929 Leatherback I purchased this Leatherback some years back over the Internet. When I went to Wyoming to pick it up, I had to use an open trailer. On the way home, the top seam above the back window split. A new LeBaron Bonney top comes with the car. The Leatherback is an older restoration...

Howdy Folks, After a 1,700 mile drive, it was an honor to see Tim Kelly and his Town Car collection. Each an extraordinary example of a Model A in one of its most beautiful forms. Though they were amazing to look at, the true beauty was the time, work and perseverance that it took to bring each...

As I was organizing my Model A magazines, I came across an article in the Restorer Vol. 12 Issue 3 (Sept-Oct 1967). It was written by Doc Kalinka and talked about the survey that he had sent out to collect information on the "Early Birds" as he called them. Now we refer to the early ones as...
