I have a 1936 Ford Phaeton and I'm slowly getting it ready to hit the road after sitting for a few years. However I do have a problem. Can someone direct me to instructions on how to remove the front and rear wheel bearings so I can clean and repack them? I know it must be a simple thing to do...

I've inherited a '36 Ford Phaeton that I think would be a pretty nice car if it was restored properly. My father in law had the car before he died, and would have things done piecemeal at bargain barn prices. It runs nice but I don't trust the mechanical brakes. I haven't seen very many of...

I bought a five flag hood ornament at a swap meet, but the thing didn't have any installation instructions. Can anyone tell me how to put it on?

Seems no matter what I've done the car still overheats. I sent the waterpumps to Skip Haney and he rebuilt them but after I installed them it still overheated sitting in my garage with a box fan in front of it after about 15 minutes. I took it out for a drive and the temperature dropped to...

I'm removing the water pumps from my '36 Phaeton and I don't know how to remove the temperature sending unit. Is there a trick to it or is it frozen in place because I can't get it to move.

I just received my top boot for my '36 today with all the hardward, and it looks great! The problem is it didn't come with any instructions on how to install it. I called them and they said they didn't have any instructions for the boot. So my question is does anyone know where I can find...

First, let me apologize for my ignorance. I never thought I had any problems with my Model A except when a cop friend of mine told me that if I planned to drive it on the highway I needed to be able to travel at least 45 mph. So one day I pulled out onto the highway and got near 45 before it...

Picked up my phaeton from the body shop where some very bad scratches, and weird body work was being corrected, and decided to take it to the cruise at Old Town in Kissimmee, Florida. Everything was fine until the end when all the cars cruised through the park so the people could ooooh and...

I just bought a greyhound hood ornament for my '36 Phaeton and I'm not really sure how to mount it. I looked at pictures and it's looks like I'm putting it on correctly but it just flops around. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

I recently came into the possession of a 1930 model A Sport Coup convertible that had spent a number of years buried under a pile of boxes, old mattresses, etc. The car is in very good shape and didn't take much work at all to get it up and running. My question is a small plaque from the...
