1929 Model 'A' Toolbox (Wooden Kind)
Does anyone here have a source for the Model 'A' Toolbox that came with the car. This would be the wooden one. I have 90% of the tools that go into it. Another thought would be, does anyone have the dimensions of the box and I can build it from Oak wood.
From pictures I have seen online (Yes, google was a friend here) it appears that there is velcro straps and like a foam back. I am trying to put this together for the next car show. Thanks! Dave https://www.mafca.com/tools/display.jpg

That looks like Velcro in the photo you posted, but there wouldn’t have been Velcro in the original tool kit.

I’ve never seen an original, but maybe it would have small leather straps with buckles? That would seem more period correct.

The copy of "Judging Standards" (2011) that I have doesn't show a wooden toolbox, only a tool bag, plus the tools.

The Model As did not come with a wooden box for the tools. There was a Tool Bag made from rubber cotton fabric, top material, whipcord or artificial leather. The wooden boxes you see today are used to transport the tools. When the tools are judged they are spread out on a table.

Re: 1929 Model 'A' Toolbox (Wooden Kind)
I see. I guess what I am looking for is the wooden box to transport the tools.

Re: 1929 Model 'A' Toolbox (Wooden Kind)
I have a spin-off question and/or assumption.
The bag is small so I assume the other tools were just tossed under the seat? If under the seat the tools would just rattle around on the floor pan? Any ideas? |

Re: 1929 Model 'A' Toolbox (Wooden Kind)
My idea is to turn your hearing aids off so the noisy rattling doesn't bother you. Anyway, that is what I do.

Re: 1929 Model 'A' Toolbox (Wooden Kind)
The box shown is a display box, and I see those every once in a while with a Model-A at cruise-ins, and car shows. The vinyal tool pouch is avaialble at Snyders. The one I have is really old. My grandfather made it, he was an upholsterer. He made wing covers, and covered bomber seats and stuff for Curtis-Wright, and then Rockwell Aviation.

Re: 1929 Model 'A' Toolbox (Wooden Kind)
As I understand it, Ford made the bags from "top materials, or whatever was handy and excess at the time." There doesn't seems to have been a standard size.
Most of the repops use top material. Restorer article HENDERSON, BILL "Model A Tool Bags," illus, Nov-Dec 2015 (60-4) p 11-13 MARC article MARC Sept/Oct 2009 p.18 Misc: Model A tool bags Joe K
