Instruction Book

[Drive Shaft Dave]

Is there an Instruction Book, Jan thru June 1930 that shows vacuum wipers with oval speedometer?

Every car made from Jan to June 1930 had one. Check with Mr. Don Turley; Instruction manuals

Now you have me thinking (my wife says that dangerous for me and those around me).

The standards and the summary that the MAFCA site has points me to the conclusion that no, there is not one as you describe.

The standards book shows 2 manuals for 1930 with the dates you state. Two with oval speedos. If there was one with an oval speedo and vacuum wipers, that would be another manual I would figure that then there would be at least 3 and maybe 4 different manuals with oval speedos and vacuum wiper to go along with the oval and electric mentioned.

The quick answer to your question is "NO".
In Figure 2 on page 7, there is an illustration of "Instruments and Control Levers". All of the 1928 through Early 1930 Model A Instruction Books show the oval speedometer and the electric wiper. Also, that illustration is always of a closed car, never an open car. Look at the Windshield Wipers (Area 20 of the Guidelines) and you will see that in early 1930, some cars had electric wipers and some had vacuum wipers. They did not publish a book for every possibility of combinations of features.

Thanks you very much, this clears this up to my satisfaction.
