I'm already sick to my stomach (vommitting). When Indian Motocycles (yes I spelled it correctly) in 1930, a Toronto dealer ordered a four cylinder in all chrome. The original pictures exist. Fortunately, the bike was scrapped.

Good luck, have you joined the Woody Wagons Special Interest Group, affiliated with MARC and MAFCA? It's a great start.

We expect that with no more major rain there will be no diificulties. The White Rose Club runs a National Motorcycle Hill Climb event the the weekend prior to the meet and they will have the field in shape. I've been running the vending there since we started our meet in 1994. Last year was...

Wick, by chance did you get an engine #?

CT Mike, I misread your initial post. The statement in the Paint Guide means that bodies supplied by outside builders like Briggs and Murray were more likely to be black as opposed to bodies made in house like roadsters and phaetons.

Black was uncommon in 1928. FoMoCo downplayed the color. It was available as an option from start of production until the 1930 models were introduced. These cars through end of production were offered in black as a standard color.

ronn, I'm drinking beer but I will try to be tactful. If you really want a Town Car, try to meet the people who have real ones. Eventually, circumstances change and things come for sale. These people know where real ones exist off the beaten path. When this happens, be ready to strike and...

I have a restored oval, 3/29/29. It was the Henry car at the 1994 meet. I had nothing to do with the resto. I doubt there is a better restored one. There are two more in the Chicago area that I know of. One is a 5000 mile original and the other was the MARC best of show in 1972. My car and the...

Pete, this is an unbelievable pile. Not only A's but early V8's. The m/c stuff is tremendous. I'm going for the Henderson parts that are buried.

Hey Will, if that drop floor does over 75 we'll have to strip it down on pit row for illegal speed parts:D. Congratulations on the model. I really appreciated seeing the pics and listening to your stories about the car when I stopped by in March. You didn't touch here on your relationship...

Clem, get a hold of Doc Kalinka. Howard Minners will have his phone #. Doc has restored a bunch of quails and he will probably give you good guidance.

Clem, I know you want a serious answer here but I can't resist. As an old career military man, as I am, I know in your travels you saw a lot of loose quails.:D

RcT, I haven't been a chapter member for years. I don't like to drive in a parade and would rather stop at a shot and beer joint as opposed to eating an ice cream sundae. However, the national meets are terrific, something for everybody. I encourage you to attend if you can.

Mendotaman, several years ago Betsy was featured on the cover of the Restorer with an article by the latest owner. I'm sure someone will post the issue.

They would not be hard to make. I'm sure you could get a blueprint from the Ford Archives. Perphaps someone could supply you a pattern. Mine are in a car so I can't give you exact dimensions.

Bill Hall (MARC) and Red Grow (MAFCA) are generally recognized as their clubs' respective "founders". I grew up in CT where Hall started MARC and CMARC (the first Chapter) and knew some of the original MARC members when I got into A's in the late 60's. As Bob said earlier, its not worth...

I spoke with Doc Kalinka yesterday. There will be a meeting for all three and four digit owners or any Model A'ers interested in these early cars at Doc's spots, GCJ 23-27, on Wednesday Oct 5. The tentative time is 6:30 p.m. I will update this notice between now and Hershey. We don't want...

Burn them and put blackwalls on.

Re: Neat Event in Old Saybrook, CT Tomorrow My ex-wife lives in Old saybrook:(. If she's on the bridge, will you nudge her over the rail for me:D. Just kidding, we actually still get along after 24 years since the divorce:). She's the Mother of our two great boys.
