if you could go back in time, what Model "A" parts would you bring back?
 

sure our money would not match but you guys would overcome that. and you would not necessarily go to 1928-31 since parts were abundant through at least the '30s at the same prices.

I'm guessing spark plugs, "accessories", '28-'29 radiator shells, Electrolocks?

Parts?? I would bring back at least a couple of cars, straight off the showroom floor.

If you brought back a car off the showroom floor you would depress the Fine Point Judging group.

A truck load of engines

I know exactly where you are coming from. It's easy to get wistful looking at those shiny cars on the dealers' showroom floors, knowing how well they operated as new vehicles.

Being primarily an early guy, I would grab as many open bail light switches, on-off-dim light/horn rods, Ford script slant pole coils, upper script fluted headlight lenses, Ford script drum tail lamps, wide bezel speedometers, early hubcaps, script ignition keys, script terminal box covers, wiring looms, radiator hoses, door check straps, red steering wheels, and all of the tire valve stems I could get!

Quail radiator caps
Gas tanks (good idea:))
Instrument panels/for oval speedometers
HEADLIGHT SOCKETS single and double bulb headlamps.........

AND a whole pallet box full of original fan belts... after seeing what they sell for:p:p

Gas tanks, and Cowl bands

Re: if you could go back in time, what Model "A" parts would you bring back?
 

Realistically , for me the majority of what I am in need of is already here (majority)
But my wish list would start with either a Cragar, McDowell, Green or other DOHC
head that would bolt directly to an A or B block..... Not too big of a wish !
