Thanks, I like the coupe and I think I am really narrowing in on the Copra and Chicle Drab combination and keeping the wheels black.

Many of the kids in the Model-T club have their own speedsters but often times will choose to ride with each other while on tour just so they can talk. Below is a picture of my daughter's speedster taken in Minnesota where the roles are reversed and Sarah is the passenger. Beside her car is my son driving his T pick-up with a friend, ...yet at OCF a friend of Blake's offered to let him drive the friend's speedster around during the Gaslight Tour. Amazing the friendships that are made thru old cars!! My son Blake driving Taylor Landgraf's speedster during the Gaslight Tour. . |

Here is a AA question: why in post #3 is the rear axle of the tandom axle AA off of the ground?

thank you, Brent. These are great shots. Is the 10 wheeler the same one that was at Hershey last year?

The rear wheels appear to be off the ground because there is not any weight on them. My thoughts are if the 'tag axle' had equal tire/wheel pressure as the drive axle, as soon as the vehicle crossed a dip in the road, the drive axle tires could lose traction. I heard the owner had just finished this restoration a few weeks before, and when comparing pictures, it appears the truck at OCF is a tad longer, and there are some feature differences. I posted pix of the Hershey truck below for reference but my initial guess would be 'No'. Quote:
The brownish tint that you mention is the correct shade of Copra. The original color was formulated by Ford and manufactured by them, and if I recall somewhere in the mid to latter 30's Ditzler became Ford's paint manufacturer. This original color was mixed in lacquer. Ditzler later became PPG, and through the years as paint lines became obsolete, the formulas were reconfigured to match the latest paint line. Somewhere along the way, the Copra "Brown" formulation became more "Copra Gray", --likely due to an error on the reformulator's part. Many hobbyists not knowing the difference have used the color you mention thinking/assuming it was correct. In addition, many hobbyists have taken the avenue that as long as their paint color shades are close, it would be acceptable. Then when someone (such as yourself) asks the car owner what is the color combination, the owner responds it is Copra & Chicle Drab. The restorer accepts his colors as authentic and thus paints his vehicle in the same incorrect shade. If you search this forum, you will find much written about the incorrect color of Chicle. . |

Brent - The pictures just show that the Model A (and Model T, plus others) hobby is alive and well. (My opinion.)
Thank you very much for sharing. Ron/IA

Re: 2013 Old Car Festival at Greenfiefd Village - Random sights...
I went to OCF every single year for over 20 years. I was lucky that it always coincided with a business convention, but that has been canceled for the past 3 years. I was going to go this year even though I couldn't make it a tax-deductible write-off but health issues got in the way (DAMN!).
Next year my wife will finally be retired so I think we'll go together. It was downright painful sitting here last weekend knowing what I was missing. Best car show anywhere, hands down. |
