Have you checked out Paul Shinn’s channel? Good Model A information there. He shows you how to work on your shock absorbers, brakes, put in an overdrive if you like. He also has an all original four-door that has never been restored. Beautiful looking.
Well done. It's difficult not to like this car. "When Lizzie became a lady" is a line from a song about the debut of the Model A. It seems so appropriate since the Model A was essentially a completely new car from the Model T, refined in a number of different ways.
I agree. Thanks to Edsel Ford, it was proven that an inexpensive car could also have very good styling which the Model T never had. The proportions of the Model A are so perfect. It is better looking than the contemporary Chevrolet and Plymouth.
@@CarrotTownGarage I sold a Model A coupe and built a Model T touring project. After that I've had several Model A sedans. Finally got the 1931 phaeton we dreamed of for over 60 years. Smokey Mountain, a Model A is much easier to handle and enjoy.
Believe it or not, when I was just 5 years old living in cold Indiana, my father decided it was time to get out of the cold. He drove a 1930 4 door model A from Bicknell Indiana to San Bernadino California. Wait!! The best was that wonderful old A was pulling a 28 ft house trailer. It's true. Those strong running cars could run forever if you had plyers and bailing wire. Just kidding.
Would love to know the name of the kit and provider of the shock kit you used. I would like to add this to my 1930 model a Tudor as well! Lovely car you here!!
jim mccoskey yes is 31rad shell but 30 chassis and 29 engine. Here in UK fully restored is only worth around $20k. I know they are making big bucks stateside now.
Hi, thanks for the speedy reply. Nice old Ford! My dad bought our 1930 tudor in 1960 and handed it down to me in 1995. I've only rebuilt the engine and put in a new interior. The old lacquer paint that was applied in 1961 still shines nicely. Many fond memories; driving it to high school, etc. Had business associates in Newbury for many years. Cheers!
Imagine a car that could be passed down for three generations... Like houses used to be , we have not gotten better, that's for sure... The givrbmnt never intends to make the lot of the common man better., That's the last thing they ever want to do.... Instead of men having no literally no cost housing and no cost vehicles and money in the bank to use as power , they're all on some form of welfare or work slaves. Including women and there is no family as planned
Beautiful Model A! Cheers from the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky USA 😎👍
That's the cleanest Model A I've seen outside of a museum. Very nice! Cheers from Tennessee!
You don't get out much!
@@modeladenny1218 How many Model As do you think I see driving around west Tennessee?
@@PW.6060 I've been to west Tennessee. Every car I've seen there is covered with mud or gravel dust.
Gorgeous 😀👍👍👍
I want this car just as it is to add to my collection.
I want a car like that:)
Thank you for this video. Beautiful car. I didn't know why some Model A's have a fuse at the starter and some don't. Good info.
0:59 I can’t help but notice your sticker pin strip is over lapping onto the chrome radiator shell.
I literally put it on then did the video 🤣🙈
@@CarrotTownGarage Yeah, I was wondering how you would open the hood.

What a gem. Thumbs up.
I plan on getting one i’ve always wanted a car like this!!
The best thing is it's really useable. I had a Model T before this and that was a disaster because I'm not 10 years old and I can drive a normal car 🤣
Sweet I was back-and-forth between model t and model a this video helped me out a lot I like the fact that I could drive the model a much easier

We went from central Illinois to Portland, Oregon in a 1934 Chevy and finally back.
Do you think this would be a good 1st car
Yes absolutely
Outstanding ride. I prefer chromed wheels or the same color as the body. It looks cool.
Hi lovely car. Where did you get the shock absorber kits I have been looking for one with no luck
Such a beautiful jaunty car...was that burgundy color an original color for the year?
Looks good !
Wow great car
Would love to know the name of the kit and provider of the shock kit you used. I would like to add this to my 1930 model a Tudor as well! Lovely car you here!!
Sure looks like a 1931. Radiator shell is painted at top, one piece apron above the running boards...Beautiful car!

The seats should be stitched in padded lines not one big flat area www.model-a-ford.com/images/proj_9/Proj_9_38.jpg
Shes a beauty
Absolutely....absolutely.....absolutely.....absolutely....absolutely....absolutely....lol
Es hermoso
Si mucho
Front wings?
This isn't some Formula One car haha
I am sure this car is a 1931 not a 1930.
Jim Schrom i thought the same when I restored her but she is definitely 1930 😊
Many '31 parts but it's the title that counts.

Your transmission is not synchronized it would be a bit difficult to operate
Double clutching is required but compared to the unusual controls of the Model T this is more like a contemporary car.
@@SpockvsMcCoy My 1931 has a later model 4-speed.
