A period photo of a Model A Vicky on an early 1930s lube rack 1 Attachment(s)
This is a neat photo we bought a copy of recently that I am sure you would enjoy here on The Ford Barn. Can anyone tell us if this is a 30 or a 31??

Re: A period photo of a Model A Vicky on an early 1930s lube rack Just look at the gloss on that paint! Wow.

Re: A period photo of a Model A Vicky on an early 1930s lube rack I'm not completely sure whether the angle of the photo is causing an illusion, but it looks to me as if it is a slant windshield. If so, late 1931.
Really nice shop. Exhaust evacuation system, waste oil collection system--first rate!! Joe |

Re: A period photo of a Model A Vicky on an early 1930s lube rack I liked the fact that they guy in the back is a grease monkey, while the guy up front is dressed in a leather jacket and the boss has a fedora on with a cover jacket. That they garage is spotless, compared to a "regular garage".

Re: A period photo of a Model A Vicky on an early 1930s lube rack I have a late 30 (body tag, motor # and Title) with the 31 features. Without knowing the year is there anyway of telling if it's a 30 or 31? When did the drivers seat adjuster change? Was the first design only on the 30's or did it run into early 31?

Re: A period photo of a Model A Vicky on an early 1930s lube rack Foxfire42, the seat adjuster with the "L" brackets on the floor were the standard from beginning of production til about May of '31. About the time of the introduction of the A400 is when the Victoria drivers seat adjuster changed. My Steelback has the early style seats, but was probably produced in June of '31 based on the motor number. Victoria body production lagged a couple of months behind the motors.

Re: A period photo of a Model A Vicky on an early 1930s lube rack Black wheels and no white walls. Just sayin'.

Re: A period photo of a Model A Vicky on an early 1930s lube rack I love the oil drain "Rube Goldberg" contraption.

Re: A period photo of a Model A Vicky on an early 1930s lube rack it looks to me that its an undercoating dispensing system hanging from the ceiling frt and back of the cars. the techs are spraying under the cars with long application wands. i dont think its an exhaust evac system or oil drain..

Re: A period photo of a Model A Vicky on an early 1930s lube rack Yes Mitch it does look like a undercoating operation, look at the sign on the back wall. I googled LUBESEAL 1930 and I got some kind of undercoating. Look at the tanks on the ceiling.

Re: A period photo of a Model A Vicky on an early 1930s lube rack Tires look to be substantial - 'full size'. Nice.

Re: A period photo of a Model A Vicky on an early 1930s lube rack Like that old photo. Didn't think that they have had sectional garage doors back in that time. It looks like a Model A should look like. Black wheels and no whitewalls.

Re: A period photo of a Model A Vicky on an early 1930s lube rack Suprised no one noticed the rear wheels.. look to be later style ford 16inch rims. Front ones are stock.
