Does anyone know if Antique Auto Battery is still in Business? I have tried for weeks to contact them. No answer on the phone, they do not
respond if you leave a message. I need a script battery for my '35 for the grand national meet. Thanks, Mike

I learned not to use "Restoration" batteries a long time ago. It was a relatively expensive lesson. It looks like things haven't gotten better in the intervening years.

My information about the battery itself is old, but may still be pertinent today. They put acid in for testing, but drained it to comply with shipping regulations. If the acid was added immediately upon delivery to dealer or to retail buyer they had a decent lifespan. If acid was not added immediately the life span was shortened. I have no info on the company at the present time.

Flathead, Make sure that they have the correct Ford script battery for your 35. No one has been making the correct battery for 34,35,36 Fords for years now. Some manufacturers have been trying to pass off a later design Ford script battery as correct for 35. See correct and incorrect images below.
