I have had a problem with my second 'A' since I bought it in April. It will not top 40 mph! As soon as you get to 40 it starts missing wildly. It will do the same if you rev it high enough in intermediate gear, but it is not as noticeable as you've usually shifted by then. The car does very well...

So, I gave in a few weeks ago and bought my second 'A'. The car ran beautifully on my test drive, drove beautifully onto the trailer the next week, and just as well a couple of days later on a 5–6-mile drive up the road. I grounded it for a couple of days to change the oil, grease the...

Hello! Brand new to the Model A world, just bought my first A this week. Unfortunately had it shipped while pouring rain, and now is having starter problems. Car started and ran fine not even 24 hours before I received it, so I doubt any parts have gone bad, but here is the situation...
