Re: How many miles this years?
I would venture to say, it's a good bet that the cars that drove the most were the more modernized ones; e.g. Mitchell overdrives, alternators, 12v, 16" tires, balanced cranks, etc.
I'm NOT dissing anyone for these modifications... just sayin'

Re: How many miles this years?
Due to a couple of surgeries I only got in a little over 6,500 in 2015, down from 22,000 in 2014. (Stock except for temporary alternator while I put a new field winding in the powerhouse)

Re: How many miles this years?
Well, around 200 since May. The car itself is now mechanically where I am comfortable using it but a more hectic summer than planned and a couple of other cars wanting to get some attention as well. We took a nice ride the day after Thanksgiving and I was really pleased to take some grades in high gear my old A would have had to take in 2nd gear. This one seems to have some more pep...

Re: How many miles this years?
None of those modifications on mine. And, it's my most reliable vehicle.

Re: How many miles this years?
The Coupe and I went 10000 to 12,000 miles on ice and/or snow. A lot of mud in summer time!
Total for 4 years was 41,000 miles plus another 9000 mostly on roads recently Mostly 40 miles a day to and from work and school. Plus a lot of dirt back roads and what some would call Jeep trails on weekends ... Ranging from 7000 to 12000 feet. Two sets of tire chains on rear wheels with 4.11 differential is a "real hoot" in mud and snow!! It just "hunkers down" and grunts right through it! Running through deep sand with 6.50-16 "Knobby" tires (lower tire pressure to 15-20lbs) is fun also. When my Nephew heard about this his comment was: "Yeah yeah ... AND it was uphill both ways also ... wasn't it !!" Last edited by Benson; 12-07-2015 at 07:41 PM. |

Re: How many miles this years?
In the past year or so, I and my wife, put about 1400 miles on our '29 roadster pick-up -(sold it), and now we have about 3050 miles on our '30 coupe, since it was restored and reborn. It too, is for sale and I need another "A" project to work on.

Re: How many miles this years?
I believe I put 2 miles on mine and one of them was on the back of a rollback.

Re: How many miles this years?
It took almost two years to get our 1930 Station Wagon varnished, rebuilt, reassembled and out of the garage. That happened right after the snow melted. During the summer we drove "Kingsford" to Niagara Falls and Amana, among other destinations that totaled 3,300 miles. That cut into "Emma," the Roadster's road time. She only rolled up 2,500 miles and five states this summer. But, if the rain holds off, we might get a breakfast date in on Saturday! "Homer," our Roadster Pick Up only managed about 500 miles ... the laggard.
