There were actually two Town Sedans there that year, and a Town Delivery.

Re: Model T/Model A Era Only Car Show - Beardsley's Cider Mill in Connecticut

There is an area for spectators in modern cars to park. For an awesome, pre-car like yours I'm confident you would be welcomed amongst the As & Ts. This is not a snobby group.

Re: Model A vs Model T

I've never owned a Model T, but have long wanted one. Sadly, I don't have a place to put one. Perhaps some day.

Re: OK, ... I'm Stumped * Solved *

Pop always told me, when you make a temporary fix be sure it is good enough to be permanent, because it probably will be.

Re: Weak Wiper

Those wipers are awfully tricky...finicky tolerances...non-standard fasteners. I did the best to get mine working correctly, but had little luck. I ended up sending it out for a rebuild. That was...

Re: Seized Engine

It sounds like you have located the problem. Glad you didn't have a problem inside the engine. Let us know when you get her back on the road.

Re: How do you restore a Brake Light Switch ?

Didn't the 28/29 switches, and the 30/31 switches work in opposite directions? One was a pull, one was a push... Or, am I remembering that wrong?

Re: What Is This... Possible Stabilizer?

Yup. It is a shimmy stop. I have a homemade one on mine. My father made it...and the darn thing actually works.
