Re: Do You Mount Your Own Tires?
One of the tips I saw in the Restorer said to use a grinder and take the sharp edge off of the inside of the bead. The edge can cut a brand new inner tube if it pinches it just right.

Re: 'A' movies
I watched "I am a fugitive from a chain gang" (1932) last night on TMC. There was a sweet sport coupe right at the end.

Re: Hinge mount Mirrors

Re: AM automobile radios in 1930.
This explains a few questions, such as where the antenna is.

The auction says FM/AM though and I don't think that's necessarily accurate...

Re: Gen-w/p-oil filler
Good questions and I appreciate the replies. I'll have to do some more checking.
I will post a couple more pictures, because the starter looks a little different to me as well.

Gen-w/p-oil filler
Please take a look at this picture and tell me about the generator, water pump and oil filler. These are all different than my other 2 Model A's.
Thanks!

Re: Christchurch NZ Earthquake
That one was a very severe Quake and so were the after shocks. I was reading some of the horrible first hand stories about it.

Re: How do you make an offer on a Model A?
It's almost like asking a pretty girl out. If you don't have the balls to ask, she doesn't get a chance to accept.
I didn't pay asking price for 2 of the 3 A's I own and nobody got their feelings...

Re: How do you make an offer on a Model A?
Cash in hand talks.
Many times people will balk a little, but they will ultimately take your cash as opposed to sitting on the vehicle any longer.

Re: noisy speedo
When I got my Cabriolet the speedometer didn't work. Poking around I found that it wasn't "plugged in", so I hooked it up. It made an awful noise and it didn't read correctly. Most of the people in...

Re: install manifold gaskets dry?
I use Permatex "High Tack" on all of my gaskets. It's a red spray on glue that seals well, but still turns loose easily when you need to remove the part.
