GrandpasA, 31 town sedan

[GrandpasA]

So haven't posted in awhile just thought I'd update, got the a running quite well, planning on a little road trip with her.. Gonna go from Chico, California to Quincy, California. Alittle run through the mountains and the feather river canyon.. Wish us luck....lol...

Go for it and always keep a cell phone with you. Be careful!

The sun visor is a dead give away that it is NOT a '31 slant, can hardly see the radiator shell, does it have the painted black indents top and bottom?
Does it have rear side arm rests? How about center fold down armrest in back seat?
Round or oval dome light?
Could be a '30 that did not sell until '31 or a early '31 that was using up some of the old '30 production parts
Welcome to the fun, fun world of Model A's
And I really like your car...for some reason.

Whats your motor number? It's on the driver side, just under the head in the middle of the block.

It has a middle foldown armrest but no side arm rests. No dome light, engine numbers are on the drivers side and the radiator is all chrome..

You have a Model A club in your area. The club meets on the fourth Thursday of the month at the Chico library from 6:00-8:30 p.m. I am sure they could be of help to you. Good Luck!

The shiney "chrome" around your radiator is a shell.
Use the link below to run your engine number, give you some cool information

thanks guys, ill check today after work..

[GrandpasA]

Just a little update on the A, well it's been running alittle rough so it decided to take the carb off and clean it out and rebuild it..
Wow it's like a whole new beast, she runs great no popping and sputtering when I want to accelerate, she actually wants to go.. This week alone I put more miles on her then in a year, what a fun piece of history to cruise around in, people really get a kick out of it..
Gonna take on all my errands today..

[burner31]

Very cool, glad it's running good.
If you squint real hard and stare at this message long enough...you can see me smiling.

Hope you hooked up with the local club. The car needs to be driven regularly.

Congratulations, nice looking car. My aviatar is my grandfather and his A 1930 Briggs Town Sedan even thought the title says 1931. I wish it looked as good as yours, I am still working on it.
