Model A I think I need another Sold my 31 coupe about 18 months ago said I was done with old cars getting old 68+.
It guess I have a addiction problem thinking about another Model A either a phaeton or a PU. Anyhow I need know where the link is to overall lengths I looked but could not find it. if I get another one it needs to fit in new garage. I moved from NJ to Tx so will update my profile. Thanks |
Re: Model A I think I need another You need another A to help you through the trauma of turning 70 - worked for me (LOL) !

Re: Model A I think I need another It's always comforting to be around something that is older than you. Keeps you young. I'm 71 and just picking up a little speed on the downhill.

Re: Model A I think I need another Where are you in Texas? My 31 coupe is about 12' 9" from bumper to bumper. I live in Del Webb Sun City Georgetown, TX. just North of Austin.

Re: Model A I think I need another Hey KID,
I'm pushing 83 and accepted a 1970 VW Karmann Ghia when it was offered this year (got it running), I'm getting my wife's 65 Mustang body reworked and painted at present, my 1929 will be out of the paint shop (my son's garage) soon, and if the wife would let me I would find me a 35 or 36 coupe. http://www.motormayhem.net/model-a-f...pecifications/ Try this link and have fun.

Re: Model A I think I need another Yeah you need another A. Isn't the bumper to bumper dimension the same on all of the cars? The wheelbase is the same. The rear bumper brackets could change lengths depending on body style.

Re: Model A I think I need another I read the headline and figured you were buying a second A i was going to tell you to get a different car. But Get another A if you dont have one. The rest of the oldies are rusty pieces of junk. I should know im working on a rotten 1965 mustang.

Re: Model A I think I need another Thanks Ted that is the link I was looking for.
Ok everyone convinced me I should look for another A. Not that I though anyone here would tell me not to get one :D Ed |

Re: Model A I think I need another You're never too old for old cars. They have a soothing affect on frayed and stressed bodies:)
If nothing else just for sitting in the garage with the TV on and looking at them while sipping a Dr. Pepper! |
Re: Model A I think I need another AOL, If you're only 68+, you are still a "kid." I'm 82 and just gave my antique cars to my 2 sons. It was just getting more difficult to work on the cars. I'm happy that my cars are still in our family, so I get to drive them.
All the best, Rog |

I am 74 and it has been years since I could fit under the Model A without jack stands but I can still get under the Model T. Getting up after being under them is the hard part. The last time I was under one of them I decided that it was easier to just take a nap instead of trying to get up. |
Re: Model A I think I need another Speaking of age 70 seems young to me I just turned 83 and I rebuilt my engine and differential this year. The front end is next and I just got the interior.
kit, this intimidates me a bit. Stay young and buy larger rolls of toilet paper. Jack |
Re: Model A I think I need another I started on my AV8 hotrod when I was 69 and it took 5 years. I will not build another one from scratch. I am 76 now and thinking about a Brass T. My wife and I have put 26,000 miles on our Tudor and 3,500 miles on the AV8. I plan to stay active as long as I can.
Good luck with your new A. John |
