Good story here: I sold my 1901 Oldsmobile curved dash to a fellow in Redding, CA. He deposited the full amount $ into my account, money cleared and I sent him the title. He is arranging the shipping and I strongly suggested he call Jim @ Truly Vintage but he needed to "ship my car now" he...

DUUH....How about loose flywheel housing bolts on the bottom side and 1 bolt missing? Yessir, i have no leak after a thorough wipedown and eyeball. The occasional drip that most have is there but no more stream. That'll learn me to look first and post later. Thank you all once again for the...

Hey all, After searching and reading every previous post ever posted, i cannot find anything on this topic except the rear main shouldn't be the cause of my leak. I start my car and let it warm with no leaks. I shut down the car and the leak stops after a few seconds. But after putting a load...

Hello all, Last friday was our 1st cruise-in of the season and as i was showing off my jewel, i wiggled the fan blade, it was tight but the whole shaft and blade assembly slides forward and aft. If it wasn't for the fan belt, it would slide right into the radiator. This cant be proper, can it...

thx

This post comes from the thermostat thread i just read. The hood ornament on my A, or some call it a moto-meter, except that it meter's nothing, except the $80 it metered out of my wallet....vintique P.O.S! the tip just came out of a boiling pot of water and after 1 minute, the little red line...

Hi all, I just came from Steve's wonderful website. So much great info on our A's. My Huckster's motor # is in the 465 range, being a may '31 production. Wondering if i might have the factory installed motor, but my A is a '30, and i know they didn't start production until late in the year...

Howdy all, This weekend was spent comfortably on a cushion, in front of my beloved...Dremel in hand as i grinded, sanded and worked on my front bumper. Then it hit me, my bumper has the curved ends that i haven't seen on any other A. I came in the house and got out my 3 catalogs showing A...

I've searched fordbarn and the internet. Without going out and burning rubber, what rear wheel gets the power? Driver side or passenger? Thanks.

Is it normal procedure, when you replace brake shoes with pre-lined new ones, to have to grind off the lining to fit the brake drum back on? I have been dremel tooling a good bit here, stopping to check by sliding a piece of sandpaper between the lining and drum and have alot more sanding to do...

My thermometer, the one on my porch, is pushing 70 and i couldn't feel better after a drive into town for groceries in my Huckster. She just purrs up and down the hills, and my rear main isn't as wet as it has been. My oil level is right in the middle of the stick, and i think it has found it's...

Hey all, Just passing this along from my Greenville, SC craigslist. Not mine but i thought it would make someone a happy T owner.

$3950, i seen this in the Greenville, SC craigslist today and had been following the ad since $4500. Thought i'd pass it along, if i was looking, i'd have to check it out. Not mine and i dont know who owns it. Sorry about posting here instead of "for sale"

Hey all! I went and removed all of my grease fittings today. Some were the originals, and cleaned out the old tan powder that once was grease. I re-greased the car and pumped alot into the rear wheel bearings. My question is how will i know when there is enough in there? The other fittings...

After wiping chrome flakes off from around my new moto-meter, and reading "Manufactured by Vintique Inc." And proudly made in the USA, i wonder if their parts are made in China? Like the Vintique hood latches i have, still in the pkg because they're going back to Mike's. Sideways, in small print...

Have any of you seen the article from Hagerty insurance's PR mgr. who will be driving a '30 sedan as a daily driver this year? Very cool indeed but i hope he has another insurance co. in case of the need for roadside assistance. I dropped them after finding out the nearest service we could get...

Today was my 1st shakedown cruise in my A, and when i climb a grade and when i go down a hill, she bogs and looses power, backfires once, then it will pick back up again. The straightaway, fairly level driving seems to be fine. I just replaced the very sooty plugs so it's running rich. It feels...
