keiser31 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Looking out my front door this morning, I caught some guys going on a tour. Only 1 Model A Ford (slightly altered) at the time I saw them. Edited February 29, 2020 by keiser31 (see edit history) 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J.Heizmann Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 You are very fortunate, John. Looks like this guy stopped touring to allow all those close up photos. Anyone else stop? Any info on what tour it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, a lot of them do not use their cars in "winter". That is one of the reasons I quit the local old car group. My honey and me were the only ones driving an old car.

Steve_Mack_CT Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Aries makes the best exhaust systems for the Model A hobbyists. Import repros are undersized and restrictive, robbing from our precious 40 hp!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Nice truck. I question the spare being on the passenger side, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had a 1928 with factory, dual sidemounts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Standard on pickups was one sidemount on the driver's side. I assume sedan deliveries were the same Edited March 2, 2020 by Dave Mellor NJ (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I'd feel safer taking a passenger side spare off in heavy traffic, not everyone is into show point deductions. Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe in Canada Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The truck has 29 plates on it but it looks to be a 30. What year is it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I had a 1930 A sedan delivery with only a right side spare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Maybe it was an option, I'd want to open the drivers door all the way if I was getting in and out all day long delivering things. Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFranklin Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Oregon didn't use a plate in 1930, just a sticker for the windshield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFranklin Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 It was just 1930. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdarrunt Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Pictured truck is a 1931 if the stainless cowl band and the ONE PIECE running board splash apron are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This got me to thinking about the nice lady at DMV that emailed me several pages of info on the History of Oregon plates. This page in particular does say in the sub notes that a sticker for 1930 with 29 plates. Love to learn something that I should have already remembered.
