Re: How Did Henry Do It?
I'm sure the vast majority of folks on this site are already aware of it, but for those that might not know; Henry Ford built a successful side business selling charcoal made from the wood scraps...

Re: How Did Henry Do It?
I was initially kind of taken back when you mentioned Doc Blanchard working on an assembly at Ford. Interesting guy no doubt, your late friend.

(Not really) a barn find.
Quite by chance, last Thursday I practically stumbled across a “barn find” (as misleading as that term can be) of sorts in the way of a Model A and I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts on what I...

Re: How Did Henry Do It?
I have read that he was pretty "involved". I suspect that in the early years he was not beyond getting his hands a little greasy. How much so by the time A's were being built I wouldn't have a clue.

Re: Best Anti-Freeze
Best I can recall, there used to be some concern that one of the antifreeze types (forget which one) would eat up babbitt material, should you get a cooling leak into your crankcase. Did anyone else...

Re: Boy am I glad I am into model A's!
This is an encouraging post. Especially the part about the grand kids liking your A's.
