Hi .. my name is Ken and I'm about to retire up in northern California. I'd like to get a Model A to piddle with. I'm a mechanical engineer with decades of experience restoring cars and motorcycles, so I'm looking forward to having something relatively simple to work on, but which in my opinion, has timeless beauty. It's something my 91 year old dad and I can do together as well.
Haven't really decided an which body style yet. We'd like something to haul the grandkids around in. It never gets really warm up in Eureka and is cool and foggy in the winter. What arrangements did Model A's have for a heater? How about wipers?
Recommendations or thoughts?
