Shoudn't last long before a new wood tax was invented.
This was in a Belgian newspaper of yesterday : "...don't heat your homes with wood during the coming days... too much fine dust in the air..." |

Re: Interesting article in Hemeings...
That is the Model A (engine number A2850078) from the Aalholm Slot Museum in Denmark......sold for 145,600 DKR (about $21,037) back on 12 August 2012 when the museum closed and sold all of its vehicles Click here for the link to the RM Auction including many more photos of this car.
There was a previous discussion about these wood powered Model A on this forum here. Here's the one that is in the Den Hartogh Ford Museum, The Netherlands (The museum closed on 1 December 2016 ) ....and this one in the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum, FL: Brad in Maryland Last edited by Brad in Germany; 01-23-2017 at 04:28 PM. |

Re: Interesting article in Hemeings...
I lived in Chile in the early 1960's and talked to many rural folks who ran their cars on charcoal during WWII when they couldn't get gas. Opinion was they had little power and didn't go very fast but at least got you where you were going.

Re: Interesting article in Hemeings...
In March 1944 I was on a ship at a dock in Belfast when I saw a Model A Ford Tudor roaming around the waterfront area and it was equipped in the manner of the car in the Hemmings article. I had no opportunity to leave the ship and get a close look but I knew it was running on a gasoline substitute. We were there three days and I saw it driving around 2 or 3 times and it was a bit smoky, and I could not hear the engine sound due to general noise in the area.
