Default Re: car died, starts later

In 1960, I met a military instructor who said he was stationed in the Army in the 1950's in California where he told me he drove home several times to and from New York in his Model A.

He said he always carried about (10) condensers with him because they would stop functioning when they became overheated; however, in my driving Model A's for 50 years, I never had a Model A condenser or Model A a coil malfunction in 100 degree weather or any other weather.

Moral of the story: Not all Model A coils and/or condensers were ever alike ...... or ........ are still all alike!

I still have a few A & B condensers that look like Christopher Columbus brought them over on his first trip .... (not his later second trip) ..... they are not beautiful, but still function admirably.
