My Canadian built Tudor is registered June 1928. She has a left hand emergency brake, multi-disc clutch and all the signs of being an early car.
 
Tudors have WAAAAAY more comfort than most Model As. '28 & '29 pickups are the most RE-SOLD ones, cuz you have to be a MIDGET, to drive one. Friend, Ted, built a FINE one, even with A/C, after he & Naomi did 3 short runs, he SOLD it!!
I wanted a pickup, BAD, but couldn't even fit in a '30-'31. (I wear FULL leg braces)

PGERHARDT, you are number 41 .
TONY HILLYARD, still has the multidisc? amazing! but definitely not a '29......
BILL WILLIAMSON, I'd love to see the guys who tested the '28s when they first were designed. I know we've added a bit of height, and a LOT of weight, but......
 
TONY HILLYARD, just noticed you are in France. Curious Ford did not seem too concerned about multidisc issues there..... Thanks for the info!
 
My early '29...

My Tudor is June 29 on the firewall. I've claimed it since age 11 when my Dad bought it. We are carrying the 4th generation now. It was in Reno recently for the National.
 
I've got a rusty june 29 tudor that I named Gus . I have a collection of model A's and tons of parts but Gus is the only 29 tudor that I have that is in one piece .
 
Fordfan - I was the same way when my dad bought his in 1969. Now my son wants it, but he just bought a Porsche Boxster, so when then time comes he may change his mind....


Thanks Mr. Swoft - you make the count 45.....
 
Ford phased out the multidisc in Europe by continuing to fit them to the shall bore 14.9 HP AF engine .The big bore 24 HP engine had the new single disc clutch .So you can have the multidisc clutch in a 29 car in France,it would have started life as an AF car .My son has a 29 tudor in from Denmark many years ago

In the case of my two early 1928 model A's, the Tudor is Canadian built with the 3.3 litre engine and the Roadster was US built with the same engine. Both have multi-disc clutches and both work really well.
