@@What.its.like. Yes, definitely a dead giveaway. I would be surprised if any body missed one this given how sharp the musical knowledge of most of your viewers are.
I think there’s only one tune that nobody can name and that was on the 2001 Ford versus 1995 Ford F150 truck episode this versus that.. and I think nobody got it because those vehicles are outside of what we generally cover.
Correction, Jay knows a lot more about cars then when he started but his channel has always been about the love of the vehicles, the appreciation for them & the joy of discovering the unknown of vehicles you've seen & ones that you haven't yet. 🌈⭐
I don't know if you remember me Jay, I used to be thefrancischarm but UA-cam deleted my account to censor me & free speech. I'm a former mechanic and like to help you out when ever I can & have given constructive criticism too, but I always tried to be respectful. Keep up the great work, you got a subscriber for life.
Yeah for sure, I honestly don’t care what anybody thinks of me in the beginning it was different I might make a video about behind-the-scenes talk about different camera equipment and just what it takes to make a UA-cam video because it’s there’s a lot that goes into it. Each episode takes about 8ish hours to do,(not counting filming with the cars but realistically I can do everything that I need to do with a car between 20 and 30 minutes.) And that’s what I meant by the learning curve you have to learn how to edit you have to learn how to shoot, That was a curve not so much shooting but editing. It I can say it’s come a long way and I’ll be the first to say it’s not perfect but every episode seems to get better new ideas =)
The Ford Model A was in production until about February or March 1932...but those cars produced at that time were still considered 1931 models. (The 1932 and later Fords of the 1930s had drastically lower production numbers than the cumulative 5 million Model As produced). Despite the technological advances of the Model A over the Model T, the Ford Model A was still crudely engineered when compared to the 1928 Plymouth Q and 1929 Plymouth Model U. The Plymouth began production at a higher price point than the Model A (despite being considered a low-priced car)...but within a few model years the Plymouth was almost the same price as the Ford but more advanced. In my opinion, the only strengths of the Model A over both the Plymouth and Chevrolet of the same years are better styling and ease of replacements parts/used car availability.
Great video as always. A curious side note: Ford had a vast inventory of replacement parts in South America still existing in the 1970s. The inventory was so vast and complete that it is said that one could build a complete Model A from the catalog. Add to this: About 5,000 replica Model A's were built from 1979-1980. They were sold in Ford dealerships across the country for 10 to 12 thousand dollars (a vast sum in 1979 for one could buy a Mercedes 240 D for that price). The replicas used many parts from the South American inventory; but were brought up to modern times with an engine from a Pinto, modern suspension and hydraulic brakes, and modern steering with a synchronized transmission. The cars were built with the permission of Ford and 5,000 were sold in Ford dealerships. I saw one of these cars displayed and dreamed about owning one of these at the time, but as a poor nursing student in college it was like dreaming of being on an outer space flight.
I was only twelve and we had a 30 Model A. I remember my dad complaining about those new fake Model A's with modern running gear. Now I know what he was talking about so thank you for that update.
Jay, as you rise and succeed there will ALWAYS be jerks trying to bring you down. Your Skin has to get a little thicker as success means someone will always be there to try and bring you down. I know, as a 38 year restaurant owner. After the Ulcers, and anxiety and sleepless nights you start to realize not everyone is your friend. At first the comments are hurtful but then you just have to think you must be doing something right to get all this feedback. Good. or bad. People are assholes especially behind keyboards. I am 60 years old and am glad you take interest in classic, vintage automobiles. Most people can’t put TIK TOK down to think about anything real.
Thank you I really don’t care what people think of me I just wanted to put a disclaimer up saying that I don’t delete any comments UA-cam’s been doing that, and I’ve been getting emails about it so just wanted to be transparent. I’m going to Massachusetts this year I think would love to swing by your restaurant and say hey =)
Your right Gene and most cannot concentrate on one thing for more than a minute or two. (Tic-Toc) I am 55 and really enjoy this new to me channel and the way it is presented.
Wow! You really raised the bar on this one, Jay. First you gave us history that could rival "The history Guy," Then you actually took us for a ride in the car. Way Out, man! I dig it!
I would choose either the '31 Model A or '32 Model B... either one would be easier to drive than the Model T. But for the second scenario I'd go with the Roadster. I've been a subscriber since your earliest videos, and you have come a long way. Regarding some of the viewers who have been less than chivalrous about your knowledge, I have always felt you were discovering and exploring these cars for the first time...like the rest of us.
Sweet choices =) I honestly don’t care what people think about me just wanted to be transparent and show youtube has been deleting comments and other comments (which 99% aren’t offensive are being put into the held fir review folder)
It's important to note that Ford produced the Model T through May of 1927, and the factories closed for re-tooling. The Model A began production in October of that year, which was the start of Fiscal Year 1928. As a result, all Model A's made in 1927 are technically 1928 models. The 1928-29 model was a little more "bulbous" than the 1930-31 model (most notably (to me) the radiator/grille on the '28-29 has more convex sides, and the '30-31 is has more straight sides). Name That Tune was super easy for me this time -- Frank Sinatra's "My Way" is my go-to Karaoke song! 🤣
Hi Jay!: Thanks for presenting the Model A! LOVE Them! It would be nice if the manufacturers could make some basic transportation at those prices today!! Can you imagine a 2023 car from about 8K to 14K for the FANCY one!! WE NEED that in these times! WYR #1 would be the A. #2 would be the cabriolet. You get roll up windows! That's another reason that the 400-A model (convertible sedan) is attractive. They are rare, though. They made the same body style in 1932 available with either the 4 or the flathead V-8. NEAT cars. The design of the Model A and the later V-8 cars, was VERY good! We can thank EDSEL for that! He did a good job making the A look similar to the LINCOLN of the time. GREAT!
I am restoring my Model A. The first prewar car I have restored. I have learned that Model A Ford owners are passionate about them. The club and restoration support is strong
Hey Jay, I have to thank you for your honesty, it's such a rare thing these days. Model B and the cabriolet. The cabriolet looks like a better ride in a downpour which I imagine would be really tough for driver and passenger in the phaeton. Good to see you doing the real old cars again. Thanks for your efforts.
Thank you so much this car channel is different than any other car channel it’s more or less a car community, I try my best to run it differently I’m just a regular guy. Thank you so much for digging the channel =)
When I was ten or eleven my brothers and I all built the recent hobby shop addition of metal models. I got a Phaeton and my mom advised us on the colors to paint them based on her youth. Mine was a lemon yellow body with chocolate brown fenders, seats and a tan roof!
Beautiful car, Jay. For the scenarios you gave, I'd most likely take the '31 Model A Roadster w/ the Rumble Seat as an added touch. I'm glad that you showed the Phaeton in this video, though, considering how rare most pre-war cars with a Phaeton body have become. A great concept in design that was sadly phased out by the more traditional Convertible; with the Willys Jeepster being noted as the last Phaeton-bodied car in America.
Yep ole blue eyes great choices Planning on going to Classic Automall on Tuesday to shoot some really incredible stuff I can’t wait it’s been a really long month lol
@@What.its.like. Useless Ford info 😂. Ford changed the fenders on a 1928 production run in March I think?? Started in October of 1927 ... Called beaver tail fenders?? The earliest Ford model A had a red steering wheel but changed to black with the adjustment to the car ???? You'll see the difference in fenders when you look hard enough ..😉 information you'll never use 🤷 enjoy your day ✌️🤠👋👋
10:29 I've never driven a Model T, but would like to before I die. The Model A as shown here, I could definitely jump in, and drive, the user interface is completely standard to my car today.
8:38 "Hoof" tail lights ... always makes me laugh (and yes, I can see it). Now that it's spring, it makes me want to go to the fair, and see some goats and hogs, standing there on their hooves!
There was one of the larger Model Ts and restored it to complete interior originality, had a couple of throw pillws and such in it. But if you looked closely, you saw he had 4-point seat belts, that was the only clue that this was a speed monster, a wolf in sheep's clothing. There was a video of it launching on a straight road.
Hi Jay, love your channel and yhe videos. We can thank Edsel Ford for the model A. He designed this car to compete with more modern looking cars of the time. He pushed Henry into the modern motoring. Except Henry wanted "steel from toe to wheel"
Clara Barton Ford and Edsel were ready to walk if Henry did not make the changes. She threatened to leave him for good. Edsel was very smart and stylish, I wish he could have lived longer.
Thank you I think I’m going to do the intros like that more often. I think the next episode is going to be an engine episode I’m not entirely sure when, I have a lot of stuff to do before Tuesday lol
I wondered the same thing but I do not think it was the AA chassis or it would have been much bigger and usually dual rear tires. I was wrong, it was a 1929 Ford Model AA. Thanks Google for making me wrong. Good night Mary Ellen.
Thank you for sharing that unique feature once the start button pops out that you could take the key out of the ignition and drive it I did not know that. I had a 93 Ford Explorer that the key cylinder was messed up and you could get in it push the clutch down started right up without a key at it and drive it wherever you wanted to drive it lol it was ghetto. I bought that vehicle just to learn how to drive stick on. Great choices you got the song and title some one beat you for title
@@What.its.like. it’s really rather clever. Not only does it keep the noise down from your keychain banging, but it also keeps from scratching the instrument cluster. As far as mechanical brakes go, sure hydraulic are better. BUT - in those days hydraulic brakes had a single master cylinder. Meaning if one brake line failed,, you had no brakes. Ford’s mechanical system did not have that issue and that’s why, for a time, it was safer.
Cabriolet, once you've owned an open top car there are times on windy days when you wish you had a closed top car, the Cabriolet caters for both open and closed, much more practical, you get the best of both worlds.
You need to do the 1929 Model A and the 1932 Ford, preferably the Victoria in your video library, if you can. Is the AA body larger than the standard A (From hood to cowl and possibly back doors or cab)? Or is it the same, but longer for the vans and pickup beds? Have you heard that song that came out in 1928? "Henry Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie"? My Dad once told me he had a friend who had a Model A and the headlights were held on that bar with a clamp. His friend's car was so loose and worn out n that clamp that when he drove up to the stop lights and hit the brakes, the headlights would dip forward and end up pointing down to the ground.
Definitely want to cover more body styles that’s for sure. I really want to do a double A ford The ford AA is on a beef your frame the cow and everything else is the same it’s just on a heavier duty chassis with heavy duty components I was told in 1930 but I’ve also been told that the cab is the same size for four years
@@What.its.like. Cool. I am painting a 1932 Ford Victoria model kit with a paint brush for an upcoming video on how to paint a model car with a paint brush. So far I'm getting excellent results. - Most people stopped painting with a brush because spray paint is easier to work with. In my video, I hope to prove them wrong and that brush painting is just as good if you know what you're doing.
Wow. Thank you for the video. It was very informative. I had no idea the Model A was so advanced compared to the Model T. What's the history of the Model B?
12:00 with the "high" fuel tank, I _assume_ there is no fuel pump, rather gravity is the way the fuel gets to the carburetor? I now I shouldn't assume, but is it true? [oops, you just answered the question, yes, gravity feed]
Still would rather have the Roadster pickup over any of them. The gravity fuel reminds me of Dad talking about if you got too low on fuel you would have to back up hills to to keep the fuel flowing.
Hahaha yeah I love this car for simplicity.. it’s a car that I really want to own one day I really like the town car model but I don’t like the price tag that’s associated with that that’s a pretty expensive model A
It takes a rather steep hill for a model A to have to back up. The model T had the gas tank under the seat, and therefore backing up the hill was rather common. The model A, the gas tank is well above the carburetor and doesn’t have the same trouble.
I was told that some salesmen would stop at the bottom of a huge hill and turn around. "This new Ford is so good it can climb this hill in reverse" ( Could not have made it forward with gravity fed fuel pump.) Is that story true, I am not sure but I hope it is.
Hate to burst your bubble, the Galveston hurricane is STILL the most deaths from a natural disaster at 8,000. Although the scope of the great Mississippi flood of 1929 in terms of property damage was higher, it still as to death toll doesn't exceed the 1900 Galveston hurricane.
1) "B" 2) Oh, most def the roadster!!! Odd that the roadster was the cheapest, now days that would be top of the line. Question... is there any meaning behind the model letters "T" and "A", or was it just something they slapped on it for production?
Lindbergh flew from San Diego, where his plane was built at Ryan Aircraft Co. to New York and then on to Paris, he also lived in San Diego while they built his plane, I've seen the apartment building where he lived.
Since you stated I can make any comment I wish, then here you go. "I LIKE THIS CHANNEL AND BEING A CAR LOVER I LEARN A THING OR TWO THAT I DID NOT KNOW BEFORE.' Also for anyone that does not like this channel for any reason I will tell you a secret: Turn it off or change the channel. Now back to good programming on : What its Like. (Thank you Clara Barton Ford and Edsel Ford for forcing Henrys hand or they could have gone under.)
You technically got it first in the comment section but I said comment section in the video unfortunately these don’t transfer from the comment section from the live chat into the comment section you missed it by literally a millisecond.

The A is obviously a leap forward compared to the T .But of the simplicity of the T is something that We miss in a modern car.

beautiful car. I wouldn't say no to a T, A or B but prefer the B over the A with the T being the third choice.

Haha trying to be relevant when pointing out different shapes
There is a guy who is always at the huge Turlock, CA auto swap meet who sells new overdrive units for the Ford as well as transmissions.
There was one of the larger Model Ts and restored it to complete interior originality, had a couple of throw pillws and such in it. But if you looked closely, you saw he had 4-point seat belts, that was the only clue that this was a speed monster, a wolf in sheep's clothing. There was a video of it launching on a straight road.

Model A any day!
That's like the real mc coys model a phaeton 😊
Was the truck on the TV series The Waltons a AA Ford ?
Not sure
if it has a pretty decent sized bed it’s probably the AA because the model A pickup can only hold a gallon of paint and a case of beer lol
I wondered the same thing but I do not think it was the AA chassis or it would have been much bigger and usually dual rear tires. I was wrong, it was a 1929 Ford Model AA. Thanks Google for making me wrong. Good night Mary Ellen.

Sweet =)
And that's why it's called a trunk, because it was at that time A Trunk.
You need to do the 1929 Model A and the 1932 Ford, preferably the Victoria in your video library, if you can.
Is the AA body larger than the standard A (From hood to cowl and possibly back doors or cab)? Or is it the same, but longer for the vans and pickup beds?
Have you heard that song that came out in 1928? "Henry Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie"?
My Dad once told me he had a friend who had a Model A and the headlights were held on that bar with a clamp. His friend's car was so loose and worn out n that clamp that when he drove up to the stop lights and hit the brakes, the headlights would dip forward and end up pointing down to the ground.
Definitely want to cover more body styles that’s for sure. I really want to do a double A ford
The ford AA is on a beef your frame the cow and everything else is the same it’s just on a heavier duty chassis with heavy duty components I was told in 1930 but I’ve also been told that the cab is the same size for four years
@@What.its.like. Cool. I am painting a 1932 Ford Victoria model kit with a paint brush for an upcoming video on how to paint a model car with a paint brush.

I'd pick the '32 Ford and the '31 Roadster😎
Awesome choices =)
Model T. '31 Roadster (though I'd really want the Roadster Pickup).
Sweet choices =)
Still would rather have the Roadster pickup over any of them. The gravity fuel reminds me of Dad talking about if you got too low on fuel you would have to back up hills to to keep the fuel flowing.
Hahaha yeah I love this car for simplicity.. it’s a car that I really want to own one day I really like the town car model but I don’t like the price tag that’s associated with that that’s a pretty expensive model A
It takes a rather steep hill for a model A to have to back up. The model T had the gas tank under the seat, and therefore backing up the hill was rather common. The model A, the gas tank is well above the carburetor and doesn’t have the same trouble.
I was told that some salesmen would stop at the bottom of a huge hill and turn around. "This new Ford is so good it can climb this hill in reverse" ( Could not have made it forward with gravity fed fuel pump.) Is that story true, I am not sure but I hope it is.
2:20 The Double-A ... reminds me of my first girlfriend.
_Ba da dum dum ..._
(although it's pretty true)
HELLOU ......❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍...........................!!!!!!!!
The model T was an important part of auto history,but the a is sure a lot more drivable.
Totally agree
I have both. 26 and 30
Sweet how do you like them which do you like better, what body styles?
Hate to burst your bubble, the Galveston hurricane is STILL the most deaths from a natural disaster at 8,000. Although the scope of the great Mississippi flood of 1929 in terms of property damage was higher, it still as to death toll doesn't exceed the 1900 Galveston hurricane.
That’s crazy
I tack all of them
1) "B" 2) Oh, most def the roadster!!! Odd that the roadster was the cheapest, now days that would be top of the line. Question... is there any meaning behind the model letters "T" and "A", or was it just something they slapped on it for production?
Interestingly,, although the roadster was the cheapest, the Tudor sedan was the most popular, and therefore most common Model A style.
Did I miss something--Charles Lindbergh flew FROM Paris to New York??
Got that backwards
Lindbergh flew from San Diego, where his plane was built at Ryan Aircraft Co. to New York and then on to Paris, he also lived in San Diego while they built his plane, I've seen the apartment building where he lived.
