Winter is just around the corner… So I figure it’s as good a time as any to start a Snowbird picture thread. What you say? I’ll start it off.

I found the above picture in Al’s gallery and it made me think about my experience rebuilding my own Model-A fuel gauge. It was a job I had never done before and I was absolutely floored by the quality of materials Ford used for such a simple little instrument. Oddly, that one small part pictured above epitomizes my love for early Fords. There was simply no plan for obsolescence.

Check it out… It’s the 1929 Ford Tri-Motor in a motion picture!

A neat period photo of a 30/31 as found by “T-Head” in this thread. Really cool…

I was cruising youtube this morning and found the above video. Apparently, those Model A Fords are bombing around the Ray Dahlinger built Ford test track which doubled as an airport for Ford execs of the day. Great footage.
