Re: Ford car Ford gas

Bob is exactly right!

Ford Benzol DID give better fuel mileage and the one part 'oil' did a nice job lubricating the upper cylinders:)

An original Ford Benzol gas globe is worth what a nicely...

Re: Tire Inner Tube

I'm not sure about that Bob, but I'd like to comment on a new set of 19" tubes I bought from Walt Bratton for our '30 Roadster, two years ago.

Re: 36 V8 Pickup Radiator?

I bought a really, really solid nice one about 10 years ago at a farm sale, for 20 bucks. I figured the scrap value was that.

Glad I did:)

Re: Yes, times they are a changing

Auctions can be pretty murky waters to wade through.

There are a lot of hokey-pokey things going on behind the scenes. Most notably shill bidders.

Be very very careful....

Re: Radial Or Bias Ply Tires

For me , personally. the way I use a Model A Ford, radials don't justify the extra cost.

I average MAYBE 200-300 miles of driving, a year, in a good year.

If you do a lot of touring and...

Re: Universal tire

That is a good price for radials.

I spent close to $290 each for Goodyear Diamond Treads about a year ago.

Hard to beat the 'look' of Diamond Tread Goodyears, but most people would never pay...

Re: 1935 Pickup Interior

Dave I have a '36 PU like 47fordkid and I am pretty sure the interiors are basically the same as a '35.

Re: MARC National meets

I see where Mr. Grow valued his Model A Ford at $4,000!

Big bucks for 1957 for a Model A.

That is $43,800 in today's phoney money, due to inflation.
