Hello everyone. I was hoping someone can help me out. For a long time my grandfather was getting his hands on Model A parts, he passed away a few years ago. I've been trying to decide all that time if I should keep the parts in hopes of eventually building one, but I'm not the mechanic he was so I've decided to sell. That being said, I was hoping someone here can help me with questions. I have a few parts and was wondering how to find out what year they are. Or anything informational for that matter. Thank you in advance.

There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of Model A people in the LA area. MAFCA HQ is in La Habra. Check the MAFCA web site for club listings, contact a club near you, then stand back so you don't get trampled by the responders!

Call the Fire Department out at the Marine Base. One of them had a Model A. I think he was assigned to the Nebo station. This was about 9 years ago so I am not sure he is still there. Also, this is from the memebr list at the MAFCA web site.

I found myself in the same position amd I personally offered the local club a deal. You identify, you conduct a sale and we split the proceeds. They loved it and we both made in excess of $ 5000 dollars !
