My ‘31 Fordor came to me with a Nu-Rex centrifugal spark advance mechanism, and the spark lever disconnected from the distributor. It has a “touring” engine (higher compression, counterbalanced crank, insert bearings), and a four speed transmission. I’m only familiar with the manual advance...

One Man’s Car. WWII dramatization Tom, Madge, Junior and Sis. No Model A’s, but documents the experiences of many owners of our A’s before we got them. Note the anti-Japanese slurs so casually spoken. Common at the time. See if you can identify the cars shown in the film...
