The Ford Barn

I found this old tattered booklet put out by the Ford Motor Company in the late twenties, entitled "Do you know the Model A ?" It asks (and then answers) detailed questions about the technical specifications of the model A. I imagine it was produced for mechanics back in the day. Here are pages 3 to 8 in three jpeg files (there are 60 pages in total). Hope they are clear enough to read.

PS - all wording, no pics in brochure?

No, just text.

They were produced and printed by the Colonial Motor Company, specifically for N.Z. They were copied from articles by renowned Ford mechanic and prolific writer, Murray Fahnestock in the Ford Dealer and Service Field magazines.

I also found a NZ Model A price list dated 1st October 1929. An 84-page booklet with prices in pounds, shillings and pence (we changed to decimal currency in 1967). It includes photos of many parts, and a list of all 81 Ford dealers in New Zealand at that date.
