- A year of driving the Model A has gone by and it hardly felt like a month.
As it happens, the 10000-mile service has to be done, so you also get to watch me crawl underneath the car and point out all the little things I've done and modified just to help me get through the daily struggle ;)
Enjoy!
I'm late to the party for this video. I listened carefully to every word spoken. Toward the end of your talk as you tried to summarize your experiences with the car words like appreciate, enjoy, meeting crazy people like yourself displaced mechanical terms and other technical language. I'm not sure you recall but you gave the best summary in the fewest words. You said, "I sit in the car and I smile."
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. And I totally agree with your reflections at the end; keep them relatively stock and you'll enjoy them for years and years. Would love to meet you some day!
Great video sir! I think what we're dealing with here is a case of "man and his machine" the insatiable love to willingly want to know every inch of this car, every vibration, experience every mile and every gallon of gas, all while adjusting the spark lever and fuel lever to absorb everything a car made during the great depression has to offer. To experience 96 year old modern technology.
Thank you so much for not ruining this car by sticking some other newer motor in it!
I love old cars I own a 1949 silverstreak and I love it I really appreciate you and I love your model a keep it happy years of driving
I drove my '28 Tudor as a daily driver (it was my ONLY vehicle) for almost 2 years. Totally agree about the windshield reflections and rain. The ratios are okay, 2nd is a bit low, but it's fine. My biggest gripe was the journey planning. Because long journeys were relatively slower I had to plan things more and reduce the long journeys to a minimum. My top tip is using rain repellent for the windows once a week. By the end of the year I could remove and rebuild the carb in under 20 minutes😂 ... great video. Thanks❤
Excellent update. I share your mindset completely. It’s rare anymore for people to understand this mindset. What it amounts to is that others simply don’t like an old car. They like the idea of an old car (attention, for example) without experiencing what an old car really is. Kudos to you, friend!
This is really great, man! I inherited my grandfather's 1930 Model A business coupe. I'm experienced at wrenching on all my vehicles and I can't wait to get it sorted to the point where I can take it for a joy ride through the countryside or the 8 mile trip into work. I really liked your video, your reflections back on your ownership with it and your desire to keep it all original. I wish you the best of luck with keeping it until you can't drive anymore. Happy motoring!
I also use a model A Ford for daily transportation. I have a1929. Regularly driving a time period car dose required regular maintenance but it is a delightful experience.
Geil !
Entertaining AND Educational. Thoroughly enjoyable too.
Nice to see your less serious side. When the phone rang. Great narration of your experience. I could only hope to follow a similar path with an A
Loved your insight and sense of humor! Thanks for sharing!
“Wtf is a kilometer!” 😂 that was the funniest thing I seen today lol
Great video! You have become an excellent driver/mechanic of this Model A. I am very impressed.
I really enjoy your Model A videos, especially this one. Owning and driving a Model A really is a mindset. I love my '30 Model A Coupe. The only modifications I have are a single wire alternator and modern points and condenser. Both of these are easily removed.
Wonderful to watch as always
Fantastic!! Great car! Deserves great care. It survived all the people that built and drove it. You have custody over this piece of living history👍👍
I really enjoyed this video. Now I’m going to watch the rest of the series! What a wonderful old car!
That was really awesome! I like the Jay Leno ending! (From his car channel) I was really impressed with the knowledge and dedication that you have for that car, and I'm really happy you're going to keep her! Good luck on your new adventure!
