I know it is difficult to give a good price but help me out if you can. I have had the car for more than 50 years and it has been apart for about that long. The car is 100% complete and in very good condition. The car is in Thomasville, NC.

It seems that Henry was always looking out for himself even if it wasn't the best idea. https://youtube.com/shorts/jMU7TLe5aDo?si=VL1XcKXGwbj77_qH

I tried to search this but to no avail. A couple weeks ago there was a post about a 180 survivor in California. It was rough but restorable. I'm just wondering where it is today.

A year or more ago a really rough Town Car body came up for sale and there was a lot of chatter about it. Seems there was some controversy too. Don't want to open that! My question is, whatever happened to the car? Did it sell? Is it being restored? As a kid I watched a TC being restored...

I've got to move my grandfather's Model T and need to push/pull it some as it does not run at this time. What configuration of pedals and handle do I need to manipulate to get it to free wheel? John

I am downsizing and moving soon. I have at least 2 model A motors, at least 1 radiator and an unknown number of fenders. I probably have more parts that I don't know about. I would like to GIVE the parts to someone in the area who will come and get them fairly soon. My first choice would be...

I need to move a Rdst. PU and a Roadster a few miles on back roads. I can go slow. Neither vehicle runs at this time and using a tow dolly would seem to be the easiest. Have you done this? Tow with front wheels off the ground? I will let this ferment over the weekend and check back on...

For those who have the Optima Red Top in 6 volt: I know that this is a sealed battery but are there any maintenance requirements? If possible, the battery will go between a 36 Fordor and Model A Rdst. Neither of the cars will be used often at this time.

Over on the AACA Forum they have a "Build" page that is very interesting. I was wondering if there are Model A builds out there on the web that you might have information about that you could share. Active builds can be very inspirational and informative. Thanks!

I enjoy following BAT and see that a lot of the cars are offered at "No Reserve". What do you think about selling your car this way? To me it would scare me to death. Am I missing something?

My brother got my dad’s house after he passed a few years ago. I got his 31 Deluxe Roadster and as my brother continues to clean out dad’s basement he keeps finding car related items and passes them on to me. So with that background and the fact that dad and I restored my early 30 Roadster PU...

I read so many posts about the high cost of restoring a car and that it is cheaper to buy a restored one. All that is probably true. But what are you going to do with the cars you already own? My cars have been in the family for 50 years. To do the math, that's longer than they were old when...

Ok, I have heard that mud flaps were never original equipment for the Model A. What I would like to know is if anyone has ever seen flaps like the ones I have. Maybe not original but how far back would they have been available? These were given to me for my early 30 Rdst. PU back in the 70's...

Good afternoon, I’m trying to get my rear hubs cleaned up and new bearings replaced. I have the bearings out but my question is: is there a flange that goes inside the rear hub that the bearings sit down in? Where the bearing was is all nice and shiny. There also seems to be a flat washer at...

I was wondering if there is a production model of a US made Model A that does not exist today? I know there were a lot of custom made units especially using commercial cowls but are we missing a representation of any body styles that rolled off a Ford assembly line?

Good morning, My 36 has been apart for way to many years so getting a grip on what was supposed to be isn't always easy. I'm in the process of restoring the chassis and have the brake rods ready to paint but both are bent and one has a profound bend in it. Anybody know if the rods are...

Over on the AACA Forum they have a page dedicated to builds or restorations. I find this page very helpful and a source for encouragement. Most of the builds are for cars that I would never be interested in but still I find the work or process very helpful. I think a separate page to host the...

I saw this video on the Drudge Report and thought you might enjoy it. Seems to be a few Model A's in the mix. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10348569/Amazing-remastered-color-video-LA-1930s-shows-city-life-old-traffic.html

I was in my shop last night working on the 36 and while taking a break thought about the two spare Model A motors I have. The thought came to me that I should be able to rebuild one of the motors myself. I have normal shop tools. I have access to help from mechanic friends who know how to...

While looking at Bring A Trailer auction site I noticed the PU listed in the link below. It sold for 20K a few months ago. On the same site there are other complete PU's that sold for around that price with one trending at auction now toward the 20K range. I find it interesting what creates...
