Default Cape Cod, MA... Help

The time has finally come that my Model A is arriving on Cape Cod any day now!


I'm a newbie with no experience with vehicles this old. I've gotten through the basics of starting and driving to the best of my ability but I'm looking for someone local that may want to help walk me through the car.


If anyone in the Barnstable, Falmouth, Sandwich area (I live in Cotuit) is interested in helping out a new Model A owner and showing them some basics of the car please let me know.


Thanks!

As MAFCA's 2018 Technical Director, I help new (and veteran) Model A owners out every day. I would be glad help you, too!

Drop me an email at [email protected] and we can then connect by phone. I can help you with all of your questions. If you have a smart phone, we can video chat while you get familiar with everything.

These cars are fairly simple, very rugged, easy to maintain, and a real hoot to drive!

I want to help you get the most enjoyment from your new car.

Car arrived yesterday and I found some local help to take a look at it with me today. I plan to reach out to the Model A Ford Cape Cod club and others once I settle in with the car for a few days.


Good news is that it ran well for the 10 - 12 mile trip from my office (where it was dropped off) to my home last night.


Thank you to everyone that sent messages. I'm sure I'll see some more locals here on Cape Cod now that the weather is getting nicer.
