The motor has about 10 miles on it and with the power to weight ratio it is difficult to keep the wheels on the ground. The car is so clean and the paint is beautiful. The Hot Rod took 3 awards at the World Of Wheels car show in Boston April 2013.Apr 12, 2013

Black and chrome, doesn't get better than that! Handling and acceleration was excellent. Freeway driving was comfortable and reliable. Quick response can be a pro and con. Over-steer can lead to issues and uncontrollability. Exciting to drive and people are always pulling up next to you and stare. Thumbs up!Apr 03, 2012

This was the first engine i rebuilt. I was 13 years old and it was really simple to do. Engines weren't very complicated then. I co-owned this car with my dad. We had another car at the time we drove until I rebuilt the engine on this car.Dec 06, 2011

One of a kind old school hot rod. Lots of power. Handles nice. Very easy to work on. Great to take to cruise nights and car shows. Driven often during the nice weather. Gets lots of attention where ever you go.Aug 19, 2011

In order to understand my position on this car you have to realize it was the first manual transmission I ever drove, which makes it special. I have also driven/ridden in it for over 15,000 miles, which makes it a part of almost every antique vehicular (mental) comparison I make.
That being said, with hydraulic brakes the car can stop on a dollar and give you change. It is a chore to steer at slow speeds (<10 mph). It has a pressurized block, as well as, a counterbalanced crankshaft which add to the original model a performance. It will maintain 65 mph easily, but any higher speed it is downright dangerous. It has the essence of 1920-30s classic lines. Also, it averages 20 mpg, a little less when we rally it.
I will always love this car, it is the most reliable antique we own and I have spent so much time in it sentimental does not begin to describe its value.Jun 25, 2011

Here's a romantic ride I rebuilt in 2005. She's all stock, 45 hp flat head engine, 3-speed tranny, electric starter, rumble seat and "Ahooga" horn, just like Henry made it. She doesn't see any parades, but she's a good driver. Every wave is answered with a honk of the horn.Jan 06, 2009

1931 Ford Model A Electrical Problem
The headlights on the car are not working the way they should. The driver side headlight is always on dim even when I switch to bright. The passenger side is on bright even dim and bright. I had a problem of blowing fuses and traced it down to a bad light socket, the wire insulator for the bulb had broken and shorted out. I replaced it with a new one and now I'm having this issue. Any help will be appreciated.. Thanks

My 1931 coupe has to have coolant added about every 100-125 miles.
There are no leaks, but rather at highway speeds the water pump seems to be pumping more volume to the top of the radiator than which is being drawn back to the block. This excess is then running out of the overflow line eventually requiring it's replacement at said intervals. The engine was overhauled last year the block completely flushed and the radiator core replaced at that time. The water pump I note is not stack as it has not a stuffing box but rather employes sealed bearings and a lip seal. I did not measure the impeller diameter but it did fit the stock hole in the head. There is a baffle in the top tank of the radiator that prevents viewing the tops of the tubes through the cap hole. Could this be the issue?

It was on a battery tender since January, 2019. I just unhooked it, put extra gas in and tried to start it. It turns over but just doesn't catch. Any suggestions?
