Fun Model A build date.
Although I know they start the model year way before the date of the car, checking the numbers on my beauty I found my car was built Jan 2, 1930, the first day of the new year the cars were made.

Please explain to us just how you determined that it was January 2, 1930 as the date your car was built? Just what information do you have to support your thought? Thanks. Pluck Last edited by Steve Plucker; 02-23-2013 at 05:20 PM. |

Re: Fun Model A build date.
I will be corrected if wrong, however, I don't believe model A's (probably like most cars of the era) had set dates the new year model started.

Re: Fun Model A build date.
I actually got the information from your site Steve. But I was a little off on information. According to your site, my engine was built on Jan 2, 1930 and not my automobile. http://www.plucks329s.org/studies/st...tudies_ep.html
Great information and great site, I hope it is ok for me to post that link, if not I will remove it. |

Was it when the new clutch system came into effect in October 1928 or was it when the single light system changed to the twolight system in February 1929? What features determined the change between a 1930 and a 1931? Pluck |
