The '23 Tudor my friend has is fitted with the distributor conversion. This , I believe , is from an old VW Beetle. What do you guys with a dist. set the points gap at?

Although I have been interested in Model A's for 60 years & owned one for 50years, I had my first ride & drive of a '23 Tudor today. Owned by a friend, this car has not been road legal for about 57 years & we were doing some adjustments before it can be vinned. Question - how much play should...

Saw this yesterday, 1931 Canadian Deluxe Tudor, one of the last into NZ Has factory twin side mounts, twin tail lamps, cowl lamps [gone]. A very small number came here in early 1932, before the new B4 & V8 arrived mid year. The Canadian Tudor was a 'deluxed' std. Tudor & did not have the...

Do any of the Canadian guys know the name of the tool manufacturer of this Canadian monkey wrench? This mark appears on a number of late tools, eg. pliers & wrenches. Cheers- Tom in NZ.

Tudor owners ; has anyone ever noticed any stamp marks on inner door or on the floor metal subframe? I do not mean the body number & letter but any other random letter such as a 'B' etc. Anyone with a stripped Tudor body may be able to help here, thanks. Cheers Tom in NZ.

Gents, would any of our international enthusiasts know about English built 1931's? Att. John Charlton ; Juggler; Jukejoint Johnny etc? I would like to know if the Deluxe Tudor , late '31, was built in Britain & available domestically or as export LHD to Europe?? Also, were British built Model...

Looking for a set of original gauges ; do not have to be mint or working, but faces, glass in good condition if possible. Do not need the original panel, just the gauges & speedo. Thanks Tom in NZ

I believe a set of Ford script badges I found at a swapmeet are the same as used on 1940 Standard cars [ hood, cowl edge] ; 5" by 1&3/4" deep approx. They show no chrome, but paint remnants. Were these also used on commercial vehicles in either '40 or '41? I saw a '41 or '42 Firengine...

Hi All A Model A friend recently acquired this AA Express toy truck at a swapmeet here. It has been repainted but appears to be to be an old cast metal one from the Thirties. Underneath it is stamped 'Arsade', 210R, 88, Freeport Ill., 210 L. He wants to know when this toy would have been made...

A friend has a 1928 Business Coupe that he may sell. This is a rare car Downunder & made me think how common would they be in the home of the Model A, the US.? Are they a sought after model ? It is an 'older resto' & a driver, not a show car or 100% correct. What would a similar Coupe go for [...

I know Ford badges are not so popular on FB, but I wonder if any collectors of such have any from Australia? Reason I ask, is that recently some have come up for sale outside Australia ; worried that someone has produced some fakes! I got mine from Geelong, Victoria, Aust. but noticed that is...

I have just been lucky enough to view the DVD about the ''20 millionth''[Ford] Model A. Interesting details crop up ; it comes off the assembly line with one tailamp but later on the tour acquires twin rear lamps plus a chrome tire guard. I liked the bit where Henry approaches the car on the...

Can anyone provide any US & Canadian company names of some of the many contract suppliers to Ford in the old days? Not just well known ones such as Briggs or Firestone, but companies such as Owens [ glass], Alhegany Ludlum [ rustless/stainless steel] & Eureka Planter, Ontario [ forgings]. Thanks.

I've come across a solid, unrestored 1930 Town Sedan, basically original, has not been on the road for about 15yrs. It has 52,900 miles from new, original mohair interior, very good body & fenders. Not running at present. Here, as in the US , the old car market is depressed but the guy still...

Im curious to see if the Murray body number on 1930 fordors [ front wooden cross member in front of seat] also appears in US production? It could be it was stamped in Canada. These bodies were not assembled here as body building did not begin in NZ until 1936. The '5''is followed by what maybe a...

I have heard that the manufacturer of these Model A tool items was either Canadian or Eaton of Cleveland Ohio. The Ford script version has an 'E' logo but the plain ones are an 'E' encircled. I also have pliers with both these logos on it. Photo is not that sharp, but the marks are there Does...

Do all '31 55B Dlx's have the 'indent' firewall? What about those sold in Canada which did not usually use those firewalls in its production? They may have used the imported US body as they did on some other types. I have just moved to a rural area & know of one here ; '31 types are uncommon...

This appears to be an early Ford wrench, going by metal thickness, early script style & lack of any manufacturers marks. Is it an early version of the ****** band wrench from the brass era?. It is definately not from the Model A or V8 era; it has enough metal for 2 wrenches of those types...

These came off my '29 Tudor many years ago. They may have been on a corner edge of the front compartment kick panels. That said, I have never come across any reference to them in the Ford Parts List or seen them on photos of original cowl panels. They are channelled brass, with remains of black...

I've just found 2 'free standing' Ford script trims . Each is 5" long & has 2 attachment pins spaced at 3". Would they fit the '39 standard hood sides or the later '41 '42 p'up hood? Thanks
