A great deal 6 weeks to early to fit into the budget. Grrrrrrr

Doesn't sound to hard. I have just been reading up on many cars and am in the learning curve on Model A's, I see some listed with a Mitchell transmission. Thanks for sharing the information to a newbie. It is a very nice car

For a person that has never owned a model A, let alone one with overdrive, what is this familiarization you speak of in what way?

Clinked on the link and it told me it is blocked.

Franklins are air cooled cars which would have me question one where I live because in my part of TX summer comes in around May 1st and mid 90's stick around June through September. Upper 90's - 100+ in August every day. So I would be curious to hear from anyone about how these cars handle heat. Even after dark our lows in July might be 85.

The Franklin is one beautiful car and I love the idea of being different. The reason i like showing up with 9 tons of chrome on the grill of my 49 Roadmaster. I used to be a regular at Fall Carlisle and Mopars at Carlisle for many , many years and then I rejoined the military (gulf 1) which put an end to it. Wish I had the opportunity to make that trip again but TX is just a little to far away. When comes time to buy I will have rely on an inspector or if possible a member who could live nearby. As much as I would like to travel and check out the car myself, it won't be possible unless I can make the drive in a reasonable turn around

anyone know what club this came from ? And is there a good resource book for pre 1933 Dodge cars? https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/dodge/dodge-brothers/2104705.html

Yes. Sounds like getting my feet wet on something that could be less frustrating to start out with. Plan to do some in depth reading on a 30 to 32 dodge

So mechanically, what would differ on a caddy from this era say from a dodge brothers? Is it a more complicated car ? One off features , etc?

That is crazy. I totally agree. Wonder if DP9 is actually the original dealer as well ! at 13500 I would have it looked at but not knowing who has it or where it is, even who is the legit dealer, how can you get the car inspected ???

I just keep searching and looking. The internet is a fun place. So can anyone explain to me how a vacuum fuel tank works and the updraft carb? http://www.jimsclassicgarage.com/1930-chrysler-cj6

and another with a slightly different color scheme. This one evidently has correct motor. https://www.allcollectorcars.com/for-sale/1931-Dodge-Brothers-Sedan-/2260259/

It would be stretching the budget too thin right now and I am supposed to only researching vehicles for the next 2-3 month but I find the color combination on the Dodge amazing. This is basically what I will be in the market for.. Then i saw the motor swap. grrrrrrrrrrrrr https://www.allcollectorcars.com/for-sale/1928-Dodge-Victory-Six-/2144517/

My 40 ford , 1 1/2 ton was double clutch and I used to drive a tank for a living. I can figure out much anything I hope !

Have not seen this.

Just throwing this out there as this caught my eye. In this price range what jumps out at you both good and bad https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/ford/model-a/2185956.html

April I am looking at a 20-22k budget for a car. Why I am doing my homework now. Not locked into any car in general. Just would like pre 32. When did mechanical fuel pumps come in? I have also see a few articles on people putting overdrive in model A's which seems interesting

Lots of good stuff. Keep it coming. Looking at the price differences between Studebaker, Buick VS Ford, Dodge, Chevy, just what is it that made (make) then such a different car and upscale model? Was it just creature comforts or a big difference in mechanicals? I have read good info on how Packards were assembled like a Swiss watch. What made Buick and Studebaker stand a step taller then lower priced models?

I started skimming through classifieds just to look at base line pricing VS car quality. Has there not been a 24-28 ford that has not been hot rodded??? There is no way the market could support that many to buyers. I went on to look at Studebaker and Dodge Brothers and oddly those early-mid 20's open touring cars started looking very interesting indeed, Ford included. But I have to ask. What is it based on mechanical' s that make the Studebaker VS the Ford VS the Nash VS the Dodge different. High points VS Low points

Touring, showing, etc is basically a local thing for me. As much as I would like too, traveling distances require taking the dog with me so I tend to stick less then 2 hours drive. I have the ability to trailer so no big deal. I doubt I would ever go to a show for points, judging, etc. Way out of my league. Really looking for a car to drive 5 miles into town a couple times a week for errands and then the occasional local show and shine.

I have looked at Studes and like the history with them as much as say a Packard. Plus just a different car then is normally seen. So I am tossing this Hemmings ad out there for no particular reason just to get your opinion on what I should be looking for with a studebaker. What are some of the critical area's common to problems etc. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/studebaker/rockne/2077698.html

anymore pictures?

Back to the Dodge today after a bout with the flu and some crappy weather. Can't seem to get the Bell housing to budge. Motor is lifted 1/2 inch off the rear mounts. Bolts removed. Bell housing supported with floor jack. Motor supported by wood cribbing. 2 bolts on passenger side removed. 2 bolts removed from bracket to motor removed. Bracket not removed from bell housing. Top two bolts removed. Starter removed. 2 bolts on drivers side removed , clutch linkage removed, 2 bolts from bracket to motor removed but not bracket from bell housing. Am I missing anything? I mean it feels like I am

No timing today. I cannot find the timing light anywhere ! Grrrr I think it went down the road with my 40 ford when I sold it as it was stashed behind the seat. Have a new one coming. Curious as to what is a good buy on these hand held tac's. How precise are they? And how do they work?

Yes, I am thinking I might have an earlier distributor looking at yours.
