The Ford Barn

Timbo · 04-20-2015, 05:09 PM

Hello, here is a short youtube video of my car. This was the day I brought it home right after my very first drive. Not only was this my first drive it was also the very first time being in a car that old. I've been working on it over the winter, having fun and learning as I go. I turned the cowl lights into turn signals, fixed the battery cable that was rubbing on the clutch pedal, put new grommets around the choke rod, installed a new fan blade and water pump, rerouted and cleaned up the wiring, and on and on and on...... I learned a lot from the old ford barn and I love the you tube videos on Model A's. I look forward to driving it a lot this summer!!!!

Welcome! I am a semi newbie, having purchased my first Model A towards the end of last summer. The first month was very trying indeed. I am sure I spent a few nights talking to myself and pleading with my car lol. But once I got the bugs worked out, it's been totally reliable. These are really fun cars and the people that are into them-at least around here-are very welcoming and seem to truly want to help.

Get in her and drive her like gasoline is still 25 cents a gallon ! Make sure you involve all your loved ones especially the older ones that remember the Model A and the young uns that can't believe cars ever looked like that. Wayne

Very nice Tudor ; the 1930 ones look great in that colour combo. Do not let anyone put a Tudor down just because they were more common ; they were the most popular style ; roomy, practical with a back seat for extra people or luggage.
