Re: A Tru-Penn, Gasoline Station – A Merchandising Mystery to Solve

Though partially obscured, I believe the sign to the left of the attendant is "VEEDOL" which I think was an American oil/lubricant brand.

If you‘re reffering to my Town Sedan, I dont' care for the whitewalls either. I've got to save the money to have the wood replaced first.:-)

If he was around today, I would ask him what viscosity and brand of oil should I put in my A and does he recommend detergent or non-detergent.

Re: Almost done with restoration but shifting problem, and more.

It sounds like the gear oil weight. Too heavy and it slows down the gears too quickly - which is why when you rev it, it shifts normally. Also, you stated during one run, it shifted better when it...

Re: Books/Tutorials for Replacing Wood

Thanks to all for the replies. I'm not sure what to do now. Since this was my father's car, I would like to keep it, but I'm pretty sure I don't have the patience/skill to do the job properly.

Re: Books/Tutorials for Replacing Wood

Well now I'm kind of stuck on what I should do. I want to keep this car because it belonged to my Dad, but I know that at minimum, the wood on the frame needs to be replaced. While I would love a...

Re: Model Identification Help

So my list possibly got a little longer?

While I love historical accuracy, I might pass on adding it.

I need help identifying the attached car. It was my Dad's car before he passed I've taken it over. All I've heard is it's a 1930 Model A.

I'm guessing it's a Town Sedan but I'm not really...

Re: Newbie with some questions...

Mike,

I don't have AAA so that's out of the question. I plan on having it trailered to Texas - the safe way is always the best way.

I wish I had been able to spend more time going through my...

Re: Newbie with some questions...

Fred K,

Where do you recommend I buy the battery box from (or where should I NOT buy a box from). I would prefer not to have to "remake" the box I buy.

Thanks,

Gerry

Re: Newbie with some questions...
