Re: New to me 1931 Coupe
Good idea to drive it around awhile. My dad and I drove ours for a year before we had any serious work done. Finally had the front end and brakes Rebuilt. Drives like a new car but we sure had fun...

Re: Model A trailer hitch
That's what I figured, too. We used all new hardened hardware to install it. We've been using it to haul my father-in-law's scooter on a platform and it works great. I plan to put a riser receiver on...

Re: Model A trailer hitch
I bought the one Mac's sells for our '31 Coupe. It replaces the strut. Took about an hour to install. Not technically a trailer hitch, it's billed as a flag holder. We use it to mount a platform for...

Re: Best available ampmeters
Exactly. And, when I first got my A, I had it down to the mechanic. He was positioning the car for a tow back to the house (it ran but wasn't drivable). When he shutnthe engine off, the cutout did...

Re: Best available ampmeters
When the parts guy only charged me 8 dollars for the ammeter, I assumed it was of questionable (ie; stale). So, when I get the occasional one that the pointer falls off, it's no real surprise. I...

Re: Preheating of the engine
Geez, I'm sure glad I live in Southern California. The temperature rarely gets below 50 degrees in the winter time.

Re: Body number. Where have you found it?
Some of us enjoy the history and solving the "mystery". I'm currently trying to track down the build location of my 31 Coupe. For some of us, it's the fun of it.

Re: poor gas milage question
Man, if you drive like that around here, you'll get run over. So far, I appear to be getting 10.5 mpg, stop and go (mostly stop) traffic.

Re: Here's a first-ever gas story
Gas has always been higher in Europe than the U.S. The trade-off is better mass transit and intra country transit. I've never driven a European road but, from the looks of them on TV, they look in...

Re: Here's a first-ever gas story
Just remember, this is the company that dumps gas in the ocean every few years. Can't complain, though. Their stock made me a ton of money when I was an employee.
