Great running, great looking Tudor. Strong engine, good paint, almost perfect interior. I’m having difficulty posting photos; all end upside down. Send me a PM and I’ll provide pictures.

31 Tudor runs great and looks very good. $19.5 k I‘m in Middlesex County N.J. just off exit 8A of the turnpike. if you’re interested I can answer any questions. (Having trouble posting pictures. PM for pics if interested.)

In some posts the actual photo isn't shown, just this:

The rubber mat portion of my front carpet is flaking and peeling off. Other than that the carpet is in great shape. Any ideas on a repair other than replacing the entire front carpet?

Just a heads up: tomorrow's Chasing Classic Cars has Wayne looking at his father's A-400. Velocity channel at 10:00 pm EDT.

OT I know, but given the talk about old car versus new car safety, I thought some might find this interesting, even if counter-intuitive. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/crash-test-video-pits-2009-chevy-malibu-against-142040507.html

I suspect I know the cause, but am looking for affirmation or something else to explore. It happened after sitting for a few hours at the car show (85 degrees and sunny). Going a fairly steady 40 mph, drove 5 or 6 miles when the 31 Tudor began to overheat, steaming and coolant pouring from the...

We all like a bargain, but buyer beware! This may have implications for motorists outside of NJ as well. WOODBRIDGE – Following an investigation by the state attorney general's office, officials moved today to ban the sale of 19 motor oil products for deceptive labeling. A Stop-Use and...

I just found that my head gasket is weeping at the rear of #4 cylinder. My first thought was to wait until the end of the 'driving season' before pulling the head. But I'm wondering if I'm inviting trouble by waiting. It's not a large leak and loss of coolant is negligible, but after a run I...

Only peripherally related to A's, but kinda fun. But all too true! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOgd9hitEAE&sns=em

The A's gas tank was empty so I grabbed the gas can and started pouring it in. After about 1/2 gallon I realized that I had the gas can for the string trimmer, meaning it was an oil/gas mix. I then switched cans and topped off the tank with about 7 gallons of gas. Started and drove for about...

Just got a set of bolts to mount the rear spare tire carrier to the Tudor. The lower bolts, though are too large. Can anyone tell me the size bolts to use? Thanks for the help!

I'm about to replace the gas shut off valve on my '31. I did a search on the forum and found one vote for sealing the threads with pipe dope, one warning not to use pipe dope, and third opinion to use thread sealer designed for gas (not sure if the the reference was to gasoline or natural gas)...

I often thought there was a need for an interior sun visor in the Model A, but never saw one installed. Until today when I saw NHUSA's photos. In one picture there is a visor that seems to match the interior. Did Ford ever offer an inside visor? Does anyone else run with one (or two)?

I thought I would offer this for what it's worth. I always dreaded refueling my Tudor because of gas splashing on the paint and windshield. The pumps at the gas stations deliver at high volume / pressure -with little ability to adjust the nozzle. It seems the nozzle would be either full on or...

I have what I thought is - and is titled as - a 1930 Tudor. After reading through the threads here, however, I'm thinking that it is actually a 1931. Some of the characteristics: Radiator shell with painted top and bottom inserts Oval crank hole Indented firewall Single piece apron at running...

Can someone help me identify this trunk on my 1930 Tudor? It's metal construction with a wooden floor (with drain holes). The back side is contoured to match the body. I haven't seen others like it, so any clues would be appreciated.

After years of admiring the A, I just got a 30 Tudor. I have much to learn and have been methodically working through the threads in this forum. Thanks to all for the information that is available! Are there any Model A owners in the Middlesex / Monmouth county area of NJ? I could probably...
