    Why am I being asked to verify?

    Now when I click on here I am being asked to verify. Something new? Will I have to do this every time? I don't recall ever being asked for this before.

    Original owner

    Got this guy today at a clearance sale.I was driving the coupe,so I set him upright and hauled him around all morning.Some kid yelled that it looked like I was toting the original owner around.When I parked the coupe I put him in the cellar,he actually fits the phaeton,I don't.

    35 transmission

    My 35 Coupe came to me with a spare transmission.I figured there was a reason for it,the floor tunnel was missing from the car,and the transmission is noisy.It has a straight up tower,with a shortened lever.It is not the top that was on the trans,I can see it was changed.Dirty trans,clean...

    35 gas tank

    Will the 35 tank in a coupe fit up into place with the neck fitted? I ask because I have an extra tank that I may send out to clean,and it still has the neck in place.It looks like it might not go in with the neck in place.The one in the car has a rubber elbow cobbled in.

    Stromberg 97

    Is the center housing for a Stromberg 97 interchangeable with any other models? The carb guy I use just told me the threaded hole for the power valve has no threads left.I have a few flathead carbs,but no 97's.I do have a center marked,91-99,but I don't even know what it was from.It is in the...

    35 steering wheel

    Is the 35 supposed to have a 3 spoke wheel or a banjo steering wheel? Mine has a banjo,and while it looks nice,with a nice rim and spokes,it is a little wobbly where the spokes fit into the hub.If it really doesn't belong there I would just as soon change it.

    35 I bought

    I dragged the 35 home that I bought,my wife took some pictures,because I'm not much for taking them.This is a typical 60's restoration,patches here and there,made to look good and drive.This car leans more toward a fun driver rather than a restoration.Interior is bad,(I helped put it in in...

    After playing with the Model A's for 40 years,I just don't know the vendors for the early V8 stuff.I do work on quite a few of them for customers,but they all bring me their own parts.I guess what I am looking for are the vendors that are the equivalent of Snyders,Brattons,Mikes,Berts Model A...

    Selling/trading Model A parts

    Reading how somebody would rather scrap his parts than give them away has been a real eye-opener today.I made out an ad in the local Craigslist that has dragged out some real screwballs.I have a new set of Firestone WW tires,and I want blackwalls.I put them up to trade,to see if any locals had...
