    I am out of town at a friend's house and he just purchased a 1929 roadster, engine number: 1176476 which is believe is about March of 1929. It is a nice and proper restoration but we have a few questions and my Judging Standards are at home. The car has typical 1929 doors with exterior...

    What color is this blue on the MAFCA "A of the Day" Standard Phaeton?

    Do you think this is Lombard or Andulusite Blue on this 1930/31 Standard Phaeton seen on MAFCA's "A of the Day"? I really like it-especially with the black wheels and tires. Understated elegance. Thanks.

    Is a 1932 Pickup Chassis the same as a passenger car?

    I just ran across a real nice, stock 1932 Model B pickup chassis. Unfortunately, the body and bed were removed for a street rod years back. The chassis is complete with all the mechanicals as well as the hood, grill, fenders, etc. My questions is: Will a stock 1932 passenger car body fit on...

    Is this 1929 Sedan Delivery Duchess Blue? Also, an upholstery material question

    I've been inspired to began work (again!) on my 1929 Sedan Delivery. It's so close to being finished. Although I have enjoyed driving it around in primer, it is really time to finish it once and for all. Searching this forum I came across photos of this beautiful example that is in the MAFFI...

    Anyone have photos of a Washington Blue Roadster or other body style w/black wheels?

    I know this will sound like a weird question, but.... I just bought a 1931 Deluxe roadster. Like most deluxe roadsters it is painted Washington Blue with cream wheels and whitewalls. I really dislike colored wheels and/or whitewalls on Model As, so I am seriously debating about painting the...

    A Probably Dumb Question about the exposed rubber hose on the firewall of a 1935.

    This is probably a really stupid question. I was looking at photos of a 1935 engine compartment and I noticed a black rubber hose coming out of the top of firewall that is not connected (see close up photo). This car is supposedly a high point, restored car so I am assuming it is supposed to be...

    '29 Tudor Driver's Side Door Lock Confusion?

    I have never been able to get the driver's side door to lock on my 1929 Tudor. Today, I took the upholstery panel out and loosened the "slide" lock so it moves back and forth, but that didn't lock the door. Upon looking inside, I don't understand how the slide lock engages with the door latch...

    Can I use a 1936 metal tire cover assembly on a 1935 wheel?

    I was wondering if a 1936 "full" style metal spare tire cover assembly will fit onto a 1935 wire wheel? I like the look of the 1936 style better than the 1935. Thank you in advance.

    Pinto Engine Conversion Reversal?

    I am considering buying this 1928 roadster. It is an original, all steel car, NOT one of the Shay reproductions. The car currently has a modern four cylinder (Pinto?) engine and transmission. The owner told me there was a conversion kit made awhile back to adapt this engine into a stock A. I...
