  1. Wrong! Steve, have you ever owned a Model A four door sedan? The coupes, two door sedans, & pick-ups were mostly all steel except for the roof and floors. The four door sedans were made by Briggs and Murry body builders and their structure was no different than any other coach built car of the early thirties. The wood structure was no different than the 1930 Franklin sedan. I've been there done that and got the T shirt!
  2. This was common all the way up to the early seventies.

    Then you could listen to music and news at the same time.
  4. I agree that the natural deterioration of wood led to cars disappearing but, I think the simplicity of the Fords running gear added a great deal to it's longevity more so that the wood framed body. A four-door sedan Model A Ford has as much wood in it's body structure as my 30 and 31 Franklin sedans do.
  5. Gee wiz that's great! I hope you also illustrated the contacts inside the distributor. How else would you figure out what's inside!! Oh and don't forget the generator cutout too.
  6. WHITEWALLS, and of course on both sides of the tires.
  7. The item that holds the tag on are drive screws. They come in many different sizes. Be very careful when taking them out that you don't shear the heads off, then you have a big problem and must drill them out and use a larger size drive screw. They are usually in blind holes, not through holes. Check them out on McMaster Carr https://www.mcmaster.com/products/drive-screws/
  8. Well, not all attorneys are a problem. They say that only 98% of all attorneys make the good ones look bad.
  9. Tell your grandmother to move her dress so we can see the emblem.!!!!! But of course, with two beauties on the hood, who's lookin at emblems.
  10. My brother had a 1953 Jowett Jupiter that had 4 speed on the column. It had a button in the end of the handle to press in order to go into reverse.
  11. In a Model A Ford you could pull up on the stick and rotate it completely out of the way. Of course, just like putting a floor stick of other cars in reverse, this operation was for extra curricular actives which I won't mention.
  12. Back when muddin wasn't fun!
  13. Good way to see if the engine and transmission rear seals work.
  14. Oh come on Paul, you know it's located right next to the radiator leaning against the back wall of the shop.
  15. Your 1931 Chilton Multi-Guide manual is an interchange manual. FH-9 has nothing to do with the manufacturer, belt, or size. It's just an interchange number to show how many other cars use the same belt.
  16. Sorry I don't know but, If you ask this question on the Franklin site of the AACA forum you will get your answer right away. Bill
  17. Be very careful with that steel wool. The tineyest little specs of wool can really screw up a good job by getting in the lines and fittings. Wash, wash, wash and blow, blow, blow out. Just some advice from someone that's been there.
  18. Now all it needs is a chain mail top. Made of stainless of course, so it won't rust.
  19. I lightened it up a bit. Hope you don't mind.
  20. Everyone has their own cutoff date. At one time even Duesenberg's were beyond someone's cutoff date. Just enjoy your own desires, be kind and listen to others. I saw a sign once that pretty well sums it all up. "It's what you learn after you know it all that counts".
  21. Just saw this posted on pre WWII
  22. Don't forget the biggest! Pe-Atomic age to Atomic age
