Very Early 1930 Model A bodies...
Besides the gas tank...what are some very early features of the 1930 Model A bodies assembled in November-December 1929?
Thanks. Pluck |

The cowl band extended down to the splash apron and the lower body molding ended short of the firewall to accommodate the longer cowl band (JS 15-6). Changed to the more conventional configuration in March 1930.

Two piece splash aprons. The starter grommet on the fire wall was different on early 30 cars.

Per the "Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards", 2011 revisions, page 18-2:
"A pressed steel/forged bar with two slotted holes for the license plate bolts was introduced in May 1930 and discontinued in September 1930 when it reverted to a round, forged design." There is a photo of the headlamp bars on page 18-3. |

the early 30 used the same starter rod grommet as the 28-29 then they went with a big round one that was made for the big hole in the firewall. then after that they used the grommet and cover with three rivets in it.
