Re: What is the hardest Model A accessory to find
I was thinking a Model A Ruckstell overdrive transmission would be the holy grail.

Re: What is the hardest Model A accessory to find
I don't know how hard it is to find or what year it is from but a friend recently gave me a Trico "windshield defogger" fan operated by vacuum.
After 'restoring' it I think it looks reasonably era correct. It does work altho slowly. I only put it on the dash when in a show & tell. Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 04-08-2020 at 11:48 AM. |

Re: What is the hardest Model A accessory to find
My Roadster has a pair of Tiffany cowl lamps as pictured in the Accessories book, I've not seen another pair. Also have a lockable box on the running board that holds three service cans like a picture in Henry's Lady. Haven't seen one of those either.
I have several pieces for the Model T I've picked up over the years including: Bird Dog Palace, running board trunk with fitted luggage, standup streamer trunk for the running board, running board kitchenette, several picnic sets, and an auxiliary running board mounted hand pump.

Re: What is the hardest Model A accessory to find
I think John Boy’s 29 coupe had them on the Waltons but the glass was not fitted into them ,probably due to reflection from lightning and cameras it may have caused.

Re: What is the hardest Model A accessory to find
This is the front of my '31 roadster. The 1931 "vanity" plate was an actual Florida DMV offering. The stone shield is an original Globe (Cleveland, Ohio)
one from back in the day. Bob-A |

Re: What is the hardest Model A accessory to find
i found this Batt Supercharger for the Model A years ago. I had at one time another manifold part of one. I have never seen another one and I have never installed it.

Re: What is the hardest Model A accessory to find
John, do you have a picture of inside the throat? Is it somehow spinning the air thru a turbine?

Re: What is the hardest Model A accessory to find
To Purdy Swoft, that chromed fumaze you missed out on is probably the one I purchased on ebay in 2011 for my Pickup. It was in beautiful shape and I had it powder coated satin black.
