I would hang on to those old tubes and carefully check them out. Several years ago I replaced all my tires and tubes, and every one of the tubes lost air consistently. So about 5 years ago, I once again ordered new tubes, from one of our major vendors….and guess what? They also leak…..not as...

You will have a wonderful trip……great scenery all along the way, and with your preparation am sure your A will do just fine. Your trailer looks just great.

When I bought my Model A Town Sedan about 17 years ago, from a gentleman in upstate New York, I hired Passport, then owned by FedEx, to deliver my recently restored car to Southern California. Thoroughly professional, driver kept in contact with me enroute, and the rig they used was incredible...

I’ve had mine in my Town Sedan about 16-17 years now, and would not own a Model A without one. Besides being able to comfortably cruise on the hiways, I even joy shifting into OD on our surface streets, when I get up to 40-45 mph. It is amazing how quiet the car is. In many ways it is so easy...

He may be talking about a Victoria…..

No they did not…..here’s a quick photo of my 1930 Town Sedan

About 15 years ago I purchased YOM plates for my 1930 Town Sedan. I found them from a gentleman in N. California, who restored them. He sold the pair & told me to verify them with the DMV within 30 days, and if the number was not acceptable, he would supply 2 new plates. No problem, I took...

Just heard the past few days that the state of California is going to propose banning chrome plating in the not too distant future, citing air quality issues. This will go hand in hand with banning all sales of any new gas appliances by 2030.

I bought my Model A in 2006 from a gentleman in New York, and it came with a NY registration and barely legible frame rubbing, but no title. I live in S. California and had heard from car guy friends that the AAA can register and title old cars. I contacted the Newport Beach office & got an...

The 1930 Town Sedans did not come with roll-down quarter windows; I think those appeared in 1931.

And it also has the correct wood grained finish on the door garnishes.

Looks like a nice find if the wood is solid. Those headlights are not original….should be all stainless steel and not teardrop shaped. The Town Sedan’s are very comfortable and nice Model A’s!

Do your lights just grow dimmer at a stop, then brighter when you start driving? Also, is it possible your car has an alternator when it was converted to 12v? At a low idle the alternator will not put out much, but charges plenty as soon as the engine speed picks up when starting out.

Like many have said, with time shifting a Model A becomes second nature and part of the Model A experience. It’s very satisfying to finally successfully downshift to second gear at speed; blipping the throttle just right. Just drive it and you’ll get it! And by the way, that’s a very nice...

That overheating with two different engines sure sounds like the radiator. Good luck with that and let us know!

Very nice Model A. My very first car in1964 was a one owner Model A standard Coupe. You will have lots of enjoyment with it!

If the radiator is truly plugged, backflushing will probably not clear it. I would strongly suggest having it rodded by someone that knows how to do it. When I bought my Model A 16 years ago, it overheated some, and I was directed to a gentleman who had lots of experience in rodding radiators...

I have a 1930 Town Sedan, and had a Mitchell OD installed about 14 years ago, along with the 5.5 HC head, and it has the 3.78 rear end. The 4 doors are the heaviest Model A’s, and I would not recommend the 3.54 with the Mitchell, without some serious engine mods. Mine pulls the OD...

Amen…..enough side comments until they work through it….

Had mine almost 15 years now, and just love it. I would not own a Model A without one……
