Re: 28 model A VIN location
I had to laugh when I first registered A495 for a title in Montana. No inspection but the woman at the desk was, 'Wow, I've never seen a VIN number that low.'

Re: 28 model A VIN location
What possessed Henry to put one of the VIN numbers in such an inaccessible place? So many frames are pitted because of standing water. If it would have been stamped on the outward side of the frame...

Re: Your most useless NOS parts
Ronn, I totally agree with you that NOS spark plugs are beautiful. I can't explain it. They just are.
The most useless NOS part that I used to have was a 1928 running board splash apron. I was so...

Re: 1929 Dealer Supplement

Re: Original Owner
Thanks Neil. That is a great story.
Now since that Model A had over 400,000 miles on it, I presume the engine had probably been replaced a few times during its life...and the 3 restorations. Which...

Re: Title goes with Frame or Engine?
Seems to me that the title should stay with the chassis/body. Otherwise every time an engine is swapped out you would need to retitle the vehicle.

Re: U-haul open trailer
Bill Lee, you are wiser than me. I didn't consider the ballooning of the roof fabric when I open trailered a Leatherback home some years ago. The top not only ballooned but the back seam ripped open.

Re: Killin time with Covid 19 and JC Whitney
When I got my first Model A in 1966, I ordered parts from Warshawsky. I eventually got a JC Whitney catalog but felt a loyalty to Warshawsky. At first I thought that they might be the same company.
