Default Re: Riding my Ford Model A across USA

Lucas,


Since you are asking for comments...here's mine.

I would start by performing a complete checkout and repair of your car before you send it to USA. I would carry the books by Andrews and the service bulletins with you.

In short, I would have as my goal no roadside fixes on my trip and just want to "see" the beauty of this nations landscape and people as my first goal and use the Model A as a conversation starter with as many people as I could.

However, if your goal is to "challenge" yourself then by all means check the fluid levels and start the car in Newark. With a breakdown on the road in a major metro area you will have many life experiences that will be both good and bad.

Marc
