Default Searching for doors in Pennsylvania

I just purchased a 1930 Model A Tudor Sedan last Tuesday and I am interested in locating parts for it. I have a VERY solid pair of doors that came with the purchase but unfortunately they are approx 1 1/2 inches too short. One door has glass the other glass is shattered. They are available for sale or swap for doors of equal condition to fit the Tudor.

This is my very 1st post

Also I am restoring a Klaxon 8c horn for it and need parts for it as well. The diaphram, Two gaskets, and the nuts/bolts to assemble.

any information would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance, Scott

If the doors are 1,1/2" narrower than tudor doors ,then they are for 30-31 coupe.Tudor doors also fit 30-31 CCPU. model A,s didnt use the Klaxon horn.

Well, you might be in luck-try Bill's Model A Acres in Watsontown,PA. very knowledgeable Model A guy, he has lots of new, and quite a collection of old parts for sale.

I live in Michigan and noticed a set for sale on the Ann Arbor craigslist in Michigan. My fathers wife's mother lives in PA and they go there often. If they are what you need let me know.

5window...thanks for the heads-up, it's good to know of a local who has parts to visit-n-view. buying used body parts online is risky if the description is wrong or the parts are littered with rust filled with plastic. also, the doors I received w/the car were purchased at Hershey a number of years ago by a knowledgeable seller to a knowledgeable buyer and they were still wrong. the hinges don't line up and they are too short at the top edge. it's a shame, there doesn't appear to be any rust or repair. nice clean originals. I'll call Bills' to schedule a visit. thanks again!

Maybe Bill, or someone, will trade doors with you-yours might be MORE valuable than what you are looking for.

Where are you located in PA. I'm part of a very active model A club in eastern pa, the lehigh valley model A club. If you are new to this maybe joining a club would be helpful as it has been for me.
