Thanks all, for taking the time to comment on my problem. I'm a little disappointed though. I thought it would be cut and dried ... didn't expect there to be so many possibilities. Since I'm no mechanic, it's especially problematic. I've owned the car for two years and have yet to find...

Out for a drive yesterday and a few blocks from home, the steering wheel started to shake and wobble quite violently. It felt like a front wheel was about to come off! A good thing I was in 2nd gear and only doing about 15 mph at the time. (I had previously been clipping along at 45 mph on a...

Enjoyed the video ... and the music. We lived outside of Brighton for four years. Made that run myself, many times, but not in a model A. You would be surprised how easy it is to adapt to driving on the left.

I know this is silly, but I've got tell someone ... Some background. I live in a 55 plus community that has several roads within the park, but only one entrance and exit. It's a real steep hill that ends at a stop, with an entrance to a highway which itself, is half way up a steep hill...

Nothing exciting, but nice and tidy.

These are a few random shots taken at the Trexlertown Show, Sunday, April 22nd. Took more, but apparently limited to seven.

Being a newbie to the world of model A's, I can't begin to express the thrill of attending yesterday's meet in Trexlertown. Having never seen more than one car at a time (while looking to buy mine) I was totally blown away to see such a huge gathering of cars in one place. I don't know how...

This will be my first Model A Show/Meet. Really looking forward to it. As a new owner, I've got a lot of questions for some of the old timers. Can't wait.

I'm a bit of a maritime history buff and I watch all the documentaries on the subject that I can find. The producers of these shows are the worst offenders of all. You guys think the car shows are awful because they're off a year or two ... while I realize the producers of the maritime pieces...

I'm new to model A's ... bought my '29 Tudor this past November. Completely restored but not by me, of course. Pretty much laid up for the winter. Can't wait for Spring.

cpf240 ... yeah, I checked with NAPPA, Advance Auto and one other. They acted like I was from Mars. Had no idea what I was talking about. Don't know of any family owned shops around here but that sounds like a good idea. Not just for this, but for the many items I suspect I'll be looking for...

I'm in the process of installing a battery disconnect switch on my 29 Tudor. I sat and read every post on the subject by using the search. At first, the many varying opinions made it seem like rocket science to me, but I kept at it until it all came into focus. I had already purchased what...

Thanks ... Steve H, Bill G and Kimlinh .... Nice straight forward answers to a simple question. Cheers, Dave Y.

Well, some interesting replies, but nobody has actually answered my question. I'll try again ... Will simply removing the filter cartridge be acceptable or, should I remove the whole thing including the U-pipe connector to the carburetor. Anything to be added in its place? Thanks. Dave

Had a leak from my carburetor (29 Tudor) and saw that the Air Maze filter (mounted directly below it) was soaked with gas. Reading back over the many threads about the advantages and disadvantages of air filters, I've decided the risk of a fire there is more than I'm willing to take. I've...

Some great memories here ... made me think back to the fifties and me driving my customized '50 Ford to the infamous Adventure Car Hop on Route 22 in Union, NJ. A huge place, and an evening gathering place for youngsters with customized cars who just wanted to cruise the parking lot and show...

I agree with the article ... to a point. I'm 81 and just found the hobby. A year ago I wouldn't have given an antique car a thought. Came upon it quite by chance. Perhaps I'm naive and I'm probably an exception, but when I walked around Hershey a few weeks ago, I was astounded to discover a...

Thanks, 1955. I looked in all the model A catalogs I have, but nobody had anything like these. On your recommendation, I've already ordered the Lisle Carrier for about $20.00 And Seth, I tried using a couple of old neckties to use as a lift, but couldn't get the battery up enough to get them...

Well, here we go again ... I figured I'd take the battery out, run it down to my local service garage and have them check it out. If it's still good, charge it up, if it isn't, get me a replacement. Got the floorboard up, took off the battery cables, removed the hold down bracket ... then...
