car clock
Does anyone know about original accessory car clocks are available for the Model A? I had a Mansfield Wiz mirror clock for awhile which no longer works and I'm told can't be repaired.

Rumble seat step plates black?
I have a 1929 standard coupe built in July of that year. I was told the round step plates for the rumble seat were painted black in 1929 and left shiny silver colored for 1930-31. Is that correct?
