I stopped in to our local battery store to buy a new battery for my 1931 Tudor Sedan. I was amazed to find an old Ford Battery on display. Can anyone tell me what year Ford this battery was used in? It measures 7" wide, 10.5" long and 7" tall.

Looks to me like the bottom was cut off.
Sorry can't help you on what years it was used. My guess would be early thirtys. The 33 battery was/is10 1/2" long X7 !/4" wide X7 11/16" high 34 battery was 101/2 X71/4 X 8 This was taken from the restoration book |

It seems to be a so-called Type A battery, which was used originally on '32s and was carried over from the Model A.
It is not cut off at the bottom. |

I suspected it was from the Early V8's. It wasn't cut off at the bottom - it was just a shorty, only 7" high. But 10.5" long. Anyone know what the Group number was? It doesn't appear to be a Group 1. An old battery chart would be great for reference.

Was this battery for sale, or just on display? It looks like its new, or a new reproduction. Neat.

They found it at the dump. I think they'd sell it for $50-60.

You should go back and buy it. They are very scarce, in that condition and complete. MIKE ![]() |
