    1929 Model A wheels

    Being a judge and Team Captain for AACA for 25 years I know how sometimes the people judging the cars think they have all the knowledge of the vehicles they are judging. When I show my cars and when I will be showing the 29 I will have the documentation to show what is right. The problem is if it is not a major deduction you will not know where you got points deducted until you request the the VP of Judging for a summery of you judging sheet.   Cheers-Don

    Nice car!  I'm partial to Sport Coupes - they are classy looking and a black one even more so.  And the landau irons are correctly installed.  Often they're not and, for some reason, that bugs me - just doesn't look right.

     

    I'm not dissing your car but you seem to be concerned with authenticity - so hopefully you'll take a little nitpicking as constructive.  The round rumble seat steps on bumper and fender are correct for 30 - 31 but they should be square for 28 - 29.  And no, the chrome spokes and whitewalls are not correct - IMHO, they look gaudy.

    Hi Dave, I did some research and I found that from the beginning of production until Feb. of 1929 the Rumble Step plate  was square. From Feb. 1929 till end of production the step plates where round. My car was built in September of 1929 so the round step plates are correct. If you have documentation that tells different please let me know so I can be sure.

    Thanks Dave, I am in FL now and the car is in NY. I am getting a Model A Ford Club of America Judging Manual for the car and I will be going over all the changes I need to make for Hershey. I go to Hershey every year and I am a Team Captain mainly for Corvettes. This will be a new experience for me with the Model A. Do you judge in Hershey?  Cheers-Don

    Thanks for the information on the steps and the spokes. I am planning on taking it to Hershey in the fall and I want to make it all correct. Just for the record we can't find who owned it in 1977 but it received a First Junior as it stands. I went to Hershey and researched the car and sound not find any information on it or the owner.5a19c6ba4d917_License002.thumb.JPG.735c2e3ab4434977719002e2010f3808.JPG

    I just bought this 1929 Model A Sport coup and my question is I can't find any information on the wheels. The car has chrome spoke wheels, was this option available from the factory or the dealer.

    National First Prize Award from 1977

    in Model A

    I am now a proud owner of a 1929 Model A Ford. I would like to learn all about the cars history. There is a AACA tag on the front that shows it was a National First Prize Winner in 1977. None of the paperwork I got with the car has any information on this tag and the person I bought it from knows nothing. I would like to show this car and go for the Senior Award. How car I find out who owned the car in 1977 and how do I verify with AACA  the car won and what would be the number assigned to the car by AACA.

    Steve,

    Thank you for the answer I was looking for. I will show this to the AACA member and the non-AACA member and hope that they change their mind about what they want to do. You are right, the non-member does not want to join AACA "BUT" he wants to brag that his truck won an award from AACA.

    Reporting to IRS

    Can anyone tell me if an AACA Club should have a Not For Profit status with the IRS and report on a yearly bases. The AACA in Hershey, PA is a Not For Profit and has a 501©3 status with the IRS. I would think if they have this status all region clubs must be the same. I went to the IRS web site and if a club is 501©3 it must fill out from 1023 with the IRS. I also see if a club gives out scholarships (our club does) they must fill out Schedule H on form 1023.
