My mechanic fixed some issues on my 1931 Model A and then drove it back to my house (about a 20 minute trip). After parking the car in my garage he turned off the engine and we spent a few minutes talking about the work he had done. He wanted to show me something and got in to restart the car - it would not start. He came by the next morning and the car started right up.

Any ideas about why this could have happened?

P.S. My mechanic thinks it could have been the distributor overheating, causing a short.
