Re: OK! Let's get personal!
I’m 25 and loving every mile in a Model A! Rolled my odometer to 70,000 earlier this year (or 170 or 270!) so I’ve put about 12,000 miles on my A since I’ve had it.

Re: Hood Prop Kits
FYI, original radiator upper tanks had tabs for holding your hood up! They work very well on mine! (Although the original '29 core left a little to be desired in Texas summers).

Re: 29 Sedan front seats

Re: Dumped the sealed beams
Pete, I laughed at the irony of the stock look regarding the headlights considering the car in the picture! It looks nice that way too, I just found it humorous!
