Re: Model A Accessories
Not shown in the "....unauthorized accessories" book. This Appleton spotlight
I picked up off of eBay some years ago. Is very interesting as it was specifically designed to fit '28-'29 Model-A open cars. I have sold the car, but kept the light. And have found a better reflector and a glass lens for it. Bob-A |

Re: Model A Accessories
DKnapp, That is beautiful!! A true craftsman indeed. You should be very proud of your steering wheel and knob.

Re: Model A Accessories
My accessories are a set of overriders on the bumpers. They were used to keep bumpers from overlapping when pushing another car. I hope to get them chromed and installed once the car has been painted.

Re: Model A Accessories
That sounds cool. Any one got any pictures of one installed and lit up?

Re: Model A Accessories
As an example, this is an original Moto-Meter for Fords produced in Köln, Germany in 1931. You can see the word "Moto-Meter" in the small text under the Ford script:
The light is held on to the front side of the Moto-Meter using the Moto-Meter's outer ring mounting screws. The wire is then connected to the headlight wires so that the Moto-Meter lights up when you turn on the headlights. MFG (mit Ford Grüße) aus den USA, Brad in Maryland |

Re: Model A Accessories
Tach Brad,
hm, naja, maybe not really understood for sure. The lamp is mounted in front of the temperature gauge when viewed in the direction of travel? And shines colorful forward? Beste Gruesse! P. S.: Tolle Sammlung!

Re: Model A Accessories
The other side looks exactly the same, there is no manufacturer's name either on the box or the light. This thing is at least 50 years old, I've had it a loooong time.

Re: Model A Accessories
Fulton Pull-Up Starter - I think it's in the book mentioned in the OP. It came on the first car we restored, which was in a lot worse shape than shown here - probably was the most valuable part on it at the time. In the first pic, you can see the lever that clamps to the steering column bracket. In the second, you can see the rod that replaces the starter pedal and connects the lever to the starter switch (accessory marble gearshift knob also in that pic). As the name implies, pulling up the lever activates the starter - came in especially handy as my right foot doesn't work real well.
No pix, but another car had one of those oil filler caps with the flexible metal hose to direct fumes under the car - they seem pretty common. |
