Henry Ford Museum re: Edison car
I highlighted a couple errors. The file they sent has 5 shots of the car outside at Greenfield Village in 1971. I've attached the engine photo here since it may have some clues. The engine looks black rather than green and has a copper fuel line. It's from a 4x5 color negative. I had to flip the image it's apparently stored in their system making appear this is the left side.
Thank you for your interest in the collections of The Henry Ford. The 1928 Ford Model A Touring Car, currently on loan to the Model A Ford Museum in Hickory Corners, MI, is a 5 passenger Ford Model A Touring Car. Dark blue with lighter blue trim and gold striping. Black metal fenders. Wire wheels. Tires 5.00-19 (29 x 5.00). Headlights. Taillight. Spare on rear with black leather cover. Black leather top. Brown leather seats. Bumpers from t and rear. Gasoline tank rear of hood. 4 cylinder engine, bore 3.875", stroke 4.25", under hood, 24 H.P. engine No. A.1. Selective transmission, sliding gear type, 3 speeds forward and reverse. Multiple dry disc clutch. Engine lubricated by gear pump, splash and gravity feed. Four-wheel internal expanding service brakes operated by foot pedal. Emergency brake on both rear wheels. Battery, coil and distributor ignition. Tread 56". Dia. wheels 20". Unfortunately, the catalog record does not have the serial number noted. I would have to check our paper files to see if that has been noted. Attached are known digitized images of the vehicle we have in the collection. It was repainted at one point in the history of the vehicle with us but unknown as to why. Unfortunately, in the earlier days of the institution, documentation was not always recorded. |
