Just finished looking at the pictures of the entire lineup of all the cars coming to my neck of the woods, and they are awesome. There were some '31 model A's that I wouldn't mind putting in my garage, including a Murray Town Sedan, green on green, '31 Roadster, and a '31 RPU. These appeared...

Orlando's chapter of MAFCA was in full force in the Veteran's day parade yesterday and was televised on local (ch. 13). There were about 10 or 15 cars, all pristine and all appeared to have working horns! Jack

I'm kicking the tires on a '30 Tudor that I will probably buy. The car is currently black with "fire engine wheels" which I will definitely change for a more subdued color. I'm considering Tacoma Cream or Black. I'm currently leaning towards black, and the bald tires need to be changed out as...

Margaret Dunning, the 102 year old lady who is featured on You Tube and other venues who has been seen sporting around coast to coast in her antique Packard has just been awarded a full scholarship to college where she will seek a degree in Business. I wouldn't be surprised if she winds up as...

I don't normally plug vendors on this forum, but I'm going to make an exception today. Yesterday I joined the Orlando/MAFCA chapter for lunch and sat next to a gentleman who showed me a ton of pictures he took while visiting Bert's in Colorado recently. WOW! those guys have a ton of parts in...

A gal I know entered a costume contest. She was dressed to the "nines" in a '20's period dress . She placed second, and one of the judges wives later told her that she might have won first if it had not been for the STYROFOAM cup she was holding. Ooooooooops! Not even the fine point Model A...

The filter has a lip that allows it to sit in the bowl without moving. Jack

From day one when I first joined Ford Barn, I have had problems with having to constantly log in each time I clicked onto the site. I've heard other "Barners" complain about the same thing and I have tried all of the "fixes" to help correct this problem. None of them worked for me. What...

The following site is one all of the old timers are aware of, but perhaps some of the newbies might want to store it in their "favorites" for future reference. I ran into it while I was cleaning up my files. I have used it many times, and I am only listing it because in recent weeks some of...

Mecum just sold a beautiful 1930 AA pick up truck in mint condition, beautiful green with all stock equipment. This was sold at no reserve for 6500.00 bucks. Jack

I'm sure this has made the rounds on the Barn, but here it is for those who missed it. http://mred-old-cars.blogspot.com enjoy. Jack

Caroline Isbell passed this weekend in Casselberry, Florida. She was the wife of Jerry Isbell who owns the Model A Store in Casselberry, FL. The Isbells have been active in the Orlando chapter of MAFCA for years. Prayers are in order for a really fine family. Jack

Many moons ago someone posted about his experience of taking his first drivers test in a Model A, but I don't recall the reception he got from the examiner who gave the test, lol. Since starting procedures are so different from moderns, did the examiner comment on what the young driver was...

Bert's in Colorado recently sold a sweet roadster for 14K and just listed a sweet truck for 18K. Both cars are currently on their website. If I were currently in the market, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Bert's sight unseen. NOTE: I am not an employee nor am I related to Bert's in any...

Today, John Glenn and I celebrate our collective---but seperate historic moments in time. His, of course, was the famous space orbit. My moment was that of a 20 year old kid bringing home his first Model A----a moment to remember-----Indeed! I dragged that baby home from Frankfort, KY to...

Yesterday at Mecum Auction, a stock Model A 1929 Sport Coupe sold for 26,000. ;) Jack

.........16 year old young man was looking for a set of wheels and heard about a model A hot rod for sale----real cheap. The V8 engine was cracked and the ****** was wrong for a stock Model A. No problem, he and his grandfather removed those along with the modern wheels, tires, etc. The body...

Did anyone see the string of antique cars (mostly T's) that sold for NO RESERVE last night. The prices were pretty low------I guess a sign of the times. Sad. Jack
