I have a Ford 1931 Model A roadster. I just had a front end accident. I need to get a front fender, a set of brackets with bolts, and a right front bumper with space for a spare tire, with the necessary hardware. There are a few other parts but those are the main ones. The bumper seems the...

never mind. I managed to pump air into the flat tire

When I bought my 1931 deluxe roadster it had Snap-on cloth arm rests on the top of each door (see picture attached). Somehow the passenger side has gone missing. I've checked on some Model A parts website and have not been able to find one. If anyone has an idea where I can buy one (or a new...

My first Model A was a 1930 Tudor; my second was a 1931 deluxe phaeton. My current car is a 1931 deluxe roadster. I never had a problem getting into my two previous cars. I could even easily get into my phaeton with the top up. I was in my 30 - 40's when I owned the first two cars. I'm now 75 -...

The previous owner of my 1931 deluxe roadster installed a turn signal. I noticed that right rear light does not work which I assume is just the easily replaced bulb. I thought the cowl lights would also be controlled by the turn signal but they do not light at all. They also don't light when I...

Is there any kind of device that I can carry in my model A to jump start if the battery does not have enough power? In other words, if I go out for a drive, park the car, turn off the engine and then have a problem restarting the car.

I have a 31 deluxe roadster. I'm about 6' 1" and always have a problem getting into my car. If I put the top is up it would be completely impossible for me to get in. Is there any way seat back can be adjusted? I use to own a 4 door phaeton and never had a problem getting in, even with the top up.

I always keep my car on a charger. The car always starts right up. I realized that if I take the car to a show it would be off for many hours, with no charger available. So, my question is - is there some sort of 6 volt charger that includes a back-up battery that will allow me to go to a show...

Can someone recommend a good battery charger? When I bought my A, about a year ago, the seller gave me his battery charger. It is a DieHard 71219. It worked okay for several months. Recently, after attempting to charge the battery (for several hours) the warning light began blinking and the...

My gas gauge never seems to change. I guess I can open the fill and somehow manage to look in. Is it very difficult to change the gauge? I imagine it could just be the float. Can it be changed without a major job?

I'm looking for Bronson Yellow paint to touch up my 1931 Model A. Can anyone direct me to a good source? I don't need much. The only place I found some was on an online store but the price for a quart was a few hundred dollars - a lot more than I'd like to spend. Spray paint would be okay.

Among other problems I've had with my Model A, my mechanic found that the timing was off. He had a lot of trouble getting the timing right. He ended up asking me for the crank, thinking (I guess) that he could slowly turn the crank to help fix the timing. The next thing I knew, he was...

My mechanic fixed some issues on my 1931 Model A and then drove it back to my house (about a 20 minute trip). After parking the car in my garage he turned off the engine and we spent a few minutes talking about the work he had done. He wanted to show me something and got in to restart the car -...

How long can I keep my Model A connected to a trickle charger without doing any damage?

The owner of my recently purchased Model A told me I should drain the 'old' gas and replace it with fresh gas because the car seemed to him to be running a bit rougher than normal. When I did, I accidentally allowed a drop of gas drip right near the gas fill. It immediately dissolved a small...

While draining old gas from my car some got on the paint and ruined a small area. I believe the color is Bronson yellow. Can anyone tell me where I might buy some of this color or a close equivalent? Thanks in advance.

​ Can anyone tell me where I can buy paint for my 1931 Model A (preferably spray). I was draining gas and some got on the car and dissolved the paint. Guess it's not original.

My 1931 Model A Deluxe Roadster was delivered yesterday. Can anyone provide information on installing seat belts and where they, and necessary hardware) can be purchased? Thanks.

I sold my last Model A about 24 years ago. I just purchased another one that will be delivered this Tuesday. I went for a test drive before purchasing the car - the owner drove. He did a lot more adjusting than I remember doing just to start the car, like adjusting the spark control rod and the...

I went for a test dive in a 31 I am hoping to buy. The car started and ran fine. Upon our return, we stopped at the foot of the driveway to take some pictures. I thought the owner, who was driving, had turned off the engine. When he attempted to restart the car it would not. We discovered the...
