Re: I just bought another Model A
Looks like a nice find if the wood is solid. Those headlights are not original….should be all stainless steel and not teardrop shaped. The Town Sedan’s are very comfortable and nice Model A’s!

If the radiator is truly plugged, backflushing will probably not clear it. I would strongly suggest having it rodded by someone that knows how to do it. When I bought my Model A 16 years ago, it...
