Re: Who Remembers Model "A" Parts in the Sears Catalog?
Yes, and soon people will ask 'What was Sears?'
Going the route of Montgomery Wards and S.S. Kresge Co. which later became K-Mart and then bought by Sears. JC Penny is right behind them they are going down too. That's a shame. |

Hang onto that 49 star flag! But if you ever want to sell it, let me know. I was 11 years old and lived in Haines, Alaska, when Alaska became the 49th state in 1959. My family moved to Alaska from Pennsylvania in 1952 when it was a Territory. In 1960 Hawaii became the 50th state, and the 49 star flag was retired. |

Re: Who Remembers Model "A" Parts in the Sears Catalog?
I don't recall them myself, but my dad told me that before the war he and Mom had gone for a walk to do some window shopping in downtown KC and Montgomery Wards had a rebuilt Model A engine on display with the MW rebuild tag on it. $35.00 at that time, probably 1939 or 1940.

Re: Who Remembers Model "A" Parts in the Sears Catalog?
When I restored my first Model A in '66, Sears was the only supplier of parts that I was aware of here in New Zealand and I bought a main gear cluster from them which did the job. Otherwise we went to wreckers to look for parts that were in better condition than the ones we had

Re: Who Remembers Model "A" Parts in the Sears Catalog?
Maybe not Sears, but I remember back in the late 60's when I was driving my original '29 Chevy coach. I use to marvel at all the parts you could get for Model-A's in the J.C. Whitney catalog. I said to myself back then: "I'm going to have to get one of them "A's" some day"..............

Re: Who Remembers Model "A" Parts in the Sears Catalog?
This Sears engine rebuild tag was on the firewall of our 30 roadster that was restored in 1958, so I assume this engine was purchased in 1958 from Sears. Notice that all the rebuild specs are stamped onto the tag. I really should reattach it to the firewall before it gets lost, since the tag is a piece of history. We've had the car about 20 years and it still runs very well.

I've always suspected my original 29CC pickup engine was an Allstate. Red-including the generator and starter motor. But NO engine/VID number in the square. The square appears "original rough casting" and I believe the engine is as "original" - as in an engine sourced from Ford to Sears for sale/marketing by them. Joe K

Re: Who Remembers Model "A" Parts in the Sears Catalog?
Terry: You are right. Didn't notice the date. Must have been purchased in 59. I bought the car 20 years ago from an elderly seller who told me he restored it in 58, but was probably 59.
Joe: I'll go out tomorrow and take some engine photos. The car has been untouched since it was restored way back when. |

Re: Who Remembers Model "A" Parts in the Sears Catalog?
Engine # and photo of engine. Stamped block #does not match title #. The star is present, before and after, but faint. Color is more or less Ford engine green. Unfortunately, that's all I can tell you. The Sears engine tag in my previous post came with the car, and so I just assumed that the engine in our roadster was a Sears engine. In a court of law, that would amount to being "circumstantial evidence". You, the jury must decide if this is indeed a Sears engine, or not.
