Thanks for the advice. I will consider that. I am actually getting married next Saturday the 12th. Yes I am a very lucky guy. This is also residing in my garage currently. It is my FIL but I am going to be the caretaker of it for a while. It has 23,000 original miles and never been restored.

I still have the Model A. It's in my garage. It's road ready but not on the road. It was my fiances grandfathers who passed away 8 years ago. My father in law needs to take care of the paper work so we can get it on the road and he hasn't done that yet. So I start it once a week or so and pull...

Thanks Jason! The Chrysler keyfob is now gone. In it's place is an old brass tire pressure gauge on a key fob that was my fathers. Good information Richard thanks. They lose a little air but they do okay overall. It would certainly save me some money. Thanks for sending me the info Fred. I read...

That's pretty neat.

Very cool! Thanks for all the info.

Awesome! I would love to do that sometime. I will be going to see on the cars at the Saratoga stop.

I would also recommend the Saratoga Auto Museum. There is some kind of show every weekend plus the exhibits inside. The other recommendations for Owls Head and Boothbay I would like to second.

Welcome John. I am a newcomer here as well. I really like the Phaetons and I hope to get one some day.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention last Tuesday night the local club the Adirondack A's just happened to be having thier local meeting at a guys house that was right down the road from me. So I stopped by to check it out. Here are all the pics I haven't joined yet but I probably will. Thanks...

What makes you think it looks like a 28? I thought the only differences where the headlights and I think this one has the 29 headlights. You guys would know more than me though. I do hope to take it on some long weekend trips. I am in the middle of adjusting the brakes now and ordering some...

Yes my gal is very supportive but I am sure a lot of that is because it was her grandfathers. Thanks Jeff. Yeah my Fiances father built that garage back in the 80s I beleive. It has a wood working shop and a wood stove upstairs too. It's a pretty neat shop. It needs a new concrete floor though...

I cleaned up my Model A a little bit more and took some more pictures if anyone is interested in seeing them. http://empeg9000.smugmug.com/Cars/Model-A/16891143_SPjvLH#1275999630_sR3g8Pj Out of curiosity can a Sport Coupe be converted to a Cabriolet?

I would love to try that. I am not real tall, 6'1" but I cannot hit the brake and be in first like a lot of other folks. I must have tall shins or something. I had not thought of the shortened or bent shifter.

Ack! I am sure he is heart broken. That's too bad. Send him my best.

That stinks. I hope your friends okay. I assume the insurance company will probably total it.

Thanks for the info everyone. I hope to sort this out over the weekend.

Okay well I guess I need to check the oil level tomorrow and possibly drain some out.

Do you think that could be causing my leak? Perhaps I should take some out? Although enough of it might have already leaked on the floor.

On my new to me 29 Sport Coupe I changed the oil before starting it for the first time. I recently noticed it has an oil leak. It was not doing this before I changed the oil. At first I suspected the drain plug but it doesn't seem to be coming from that. This is a pretty substantial leak. It's...

I believe it's a Ford Cosworth out of a Cosworth Sierra. No turbo, I think they just made a big intake plenum.
