- A 1931 Ford Model A is an American icon. Simple, elegant and robust. It has been proven to stand the test of time. With 40hp and a top speed of about 65 mph, the A was way headed of the curve compared to the previous Model T. Between 1927 and 1931 a total of 4,858,644 where produced of the 9 body styles available. In my opinion these cars helped shape the world. With that being said, enjoy this quick tour of a 31 Ford where we hit on some the normal features and some of the oddities of the Model A.

Nice video! One correction: the black bowl you identified as the factory fuel shut off is actually the fuel sediment bowl. The factory fuel shut off valve is on the inside under the fuel tank.
Thank you! And thank you for the info. I appreciate it!
Those old cars are a lot of fun. I've got a '28 Phaeton. Drive it often and it'll get better and better. Have fun and good luck.
They sure are. Something to be said about the simple things in life.
Excellent video Sir! Love those old Fords. I love all Fords!
I noticed the left front shock absorber is missing!
Sure is ,they all are. Not sure why 🤷🏼♂️
That autolite heater cover is not made for that manifold. Auotlite made an exhaust manifold that had a extension above the tubes that piece fit on. It was a what they called a waffle. I think. I could be wring on the name. I have the exhaust manifold on my Model A, but I don't have the cover for it.
We where wondering that because it doesn’t fit worth a damn haha. Thanks for the info!
Knows a little more about an A model than my daughter.
She must be pretty smart 🤗.
You have no shocks on it.
I don’t recall seeing any either to tell you the truth. Do these have friction shocks? I am by no means a Model A expert
Model A’s have houdaille shocks instead of tubular shocks. They’re oil-filled, about 4” in diameter and 2” thick, bolted to the frame and attached to the suspension with a shock link. This car is missing its shocks.
