Looking for the accessory visors for model A headlights and cowl lights. See attachment for image. The crustier, the better!

After years of searching, I found this dash at a recent swap meet. The seller was firm on his price and I left it behind but got his phone number. After a week of tough phone negotiations we settled on his original price and I bought it. :rolleyes: It has the original temperature gauge but a...

I purchased this hub cap at a Swap Meet from a vendor who had it on his 1928 pickup. He said he never saw another one like it after years of searching so he sold it. It's wall art for me, but I'm curious of the history. Has anyone ever seen this accessory?

Background: I drive a 1930 Tudor with a 6V alternator and I've installed a couple 6V to 12V power step-ups to run an accessory plug for a Navigation system and a 12V third brake light with safety flasher. Everything works great. I'm planning to pull my Mullins Trailer to the Oshkosh National...

Dad (Ol Jenny) starts his first round of chemo this morning at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Cinics. His 2018 Model A touring season is on hold. Mom and Dad survive the Iowa winters by performing preventative maintenance on Ol Jenny and dreaming of the upcoming touring season. I know...

Does anyone know the use for this JT Slocomb (micrometer?) tool? It was in a box of KR Wilson Model A tools. Dave

I discovered this while under the car this weekend. I didn't notice any crack when I installed it a year ago. Thoughts on the cause?

I would like to purchase and install a Hi Boy style air filter. I have an Aermore exhaust whistle installed and want to make sure the filter will fit with the whistle before I spend $78.00. For those with a Hi Boy installed, do you think it will fit around my Aermore?

I was on a club tour last Saturday and was enjoying a perfect Iowa fall tour. I am running water with a rust preventive additive and water wetter. I have a Vintage Precision thermostat gooseneck with the thermostat removed. My temperature for most of the day was running 150 degrees. A little...

Earlier this year my steering shaft began vibrating and my steering wheel had substantial more play than in the past. I'm driving a newly restored 1930 Tudor with everything rebuilt and 4,000 miles since completion. I removed the steering wheel for a quick inspection and everything seemed good...

I just rolled over 2,000 miles on a newly rebuilt engine by Richard Fallucca of AER. Have had some problems blowing head gaskets with my Snyder's 6.0 head so I had it milled and installed the third gasket. I was gently breaking everything back in and was travelling at 45 MPH closed to home when...

Black Friday in Iowa. No shopping, no Malls, no stress, no crowds, no traffic. Just a leisurely drive in the country on a beautiful brisk fall day. We're all experiencing the cold so the snow is early in Iowa. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend.

Why do all the suppliers of high compression heads recommend Model B gaskets? I just blew my second head gasket in the first 2,000 miles since my AER rebuild with a Snyder's 6.0 head. I first blew my supplied B composite gasket and now have blown the Model B copper gasket. The rebuilder now...

I was breaking in my newly rebuilt engine on my 1930 Tudor and hit disaster at 132 miles. I noticed a small amount of antifreeze dripping out of the radiator fins (I was driving with the hood off) and a little steam exiting as if a tube was leaking. I immediately headed for home and the bottom...

I'm going to install a 1931 steering column bracket on my 1930 Tudor to ensure the original support bracket never creates a leak. My question is should the bracket be painted black or interior paint color?

What else is there to do in Iowa during February? With the help of my Dad (Ol Jenny on the Barn) and a good friend, months of blasting, scrubbing, rebuilding, priming and painting pays off.

I just dropped off my engine at Antique Engine Rebuilders in Skokie, IL. Richard Falluca is going to rebuild with his touring package which includes a counterbalanced crank, lightened flywheel, 6.0 high compression head, all new bearings, rods and pistons, larger intake valves, etc, etc. I'm...

Does anyone recognize this tool? A neighbor purchased it for $5 at an antique store and was told it was a Model A tool.

I recently removed the door panels on my 30 Tudor and cussed the fool that applied rust proofing to the inside of my doors. In looking at pictures posted by fellow Barner "kwisor", I noticed the exact same looking material applied to the door. I attached Kevin's original 30 Tudor image with...

Last week I posted images of my recently found body number asking for clarification on the number "I 0419". I have attached the original image here for reference. Identifying Indianapolis as the manufacturing location was easy, but what about body number 0419 for a late 1930 Tudor built at a...
