Ahhhh....A495. It took 9 years to finish that restoration. It was top point car when judges three times (2 MARC, 1 MAFCA). It spent two years at the MAFFI museum. Between those two years, I brought it out to the MAFCA meet in Colorado and the MARC meet in Perryville. I wanted people to see up...

Just got the latest issue of The Restorer Vol 70 Issue 6. There is an article I would like to suggest that you read: One Last Model A Drive Together. This isn't a story about finding a dusty and rusty car and making it a show winner. It's one about a family's history with several Model A's with...

Been wet but have found some great bargains. Looks like it will stop raining tomorrow morning. Can't wait.

I will continue to attend until they stop doing it. I, too, don't need many parts but I do need my fix of Hershey. My buddies. The hunt for elusive parts. The car corral. It is all so good. As we age, we come to realize that change is the one constant that we can be certain of. Hershey has...

Previous to the Wenatchee Regional Meet, I had attended about 15 to 20 Model A meets but I had never attended a V8 meet. For me to compare a Model A national meet to a V8 regional meet would not be fair. But I wil point a few things out. 1. Early Ford folks whether they be T, A or V8 are...

36 Crazy, I have recently purchased an original (55,000miles) '36 Standard Tudor. I can take photos and send them to you. Please send your e-mail address to dean495@gmail.com.

One of the top meets that I have been to. Facility: Everything was under one roof: the hotel, the meeting rooms, the touring/fine point judging room, the banquet room, etc. Even trailer parking was on site. Add to that a mall filled with antique and classic autos. A great place to have a...

Don't see any "67" on it. I've sent Max a private message.

No, Mark's car is a Black, Deluxe Tudor. He also is a very good friend who checked this car out before I bought it. Down in San Diego he and Gary Karr drove this car at 65 mph. That is one of the reasons that I bought a V8 after so many years in Model As. More comfort and a lot quicker. A hard...

Don't have the paperwork but it previously belonged to an elderly gentleman from the San Diego area. It's a low mileage survivor with a second coat of blue paint. The upholstery is original. It has won a Rogue Award from the V8 Club.

I have a very original 1936 Standard Tudor. I want to be in communication with a top carburetor guy who can put together/sell an original carburetor with the correct high altitude needles. I currently live at about 5,000 feet. In its previous life the Tudor lived at sea level. My idea is to...

One of my proudest momments as a Model A guy happened when I was a senior in high school. When I bought my 1929 Tudor as sophomore I joined the Wisconsin Chapter of Model A Ford Club of America. Each year they participated in the Rank & Son Buick Antique Car Show as a club. Besides displaying a...

This is great to see! Steve Ryan was a heck of a guy. Glad to see him honored in such a way. Also see that Jim Brand will be doing some pinstriping. For those of you who will attend and have a car that doesn't have pinstriping do yourself a favor. Get your car pinstriped. It will pop! Gosh...

That is one great looking Coupe! Just wish that the background was a forest or an old Tudor mansion. Thanks to Mercman for giving us a larger view of it. To tell you the truth, I just keep going back to that photo. What an awesome, solid Model A! Just wow!

If you have the money you should be able to own a Model A. Period. Now if you take that Model A on a public road you have an obligation to the public, your passengers and yourself to have it in good working order, i.e. good brakes, good steering, etc. How you get it to and maintain it in good...

I thoroughly both of those videos. Thank you. D

The MAFCA 2014 National meet in Pullaylup, WA was a great meet so there has got to be a great group of Model A'ers in the area. Through the years I have meet quite a few Model A'ers in the area. All very enthusiastic about our hobby. Suprisingly there is a group who can talk the "early '28...

Tom, I'm wondering where you had to check to find out that your new "A" is a female?:D Beautiful automobile by the way.

There is/was a 1931 slant windshield in the Wisconsin Automotive Museum in Hartford, Wisconsin. Sign says that it was one of six built for General Electric. I have two grainy photos of it that I took in 2004. Looking at their website, there is a photo in the Gallery that shows the front of the...

w.michael, I shouldn't win a hard luck trophy. Perhaps a stupidity trophy would be more appropriate.
