Ford from Holland
Hello Everybody,
I would like to introduce myself to this forum. My name is Clint and i live in the Netherlands, Rotterdam. I am 25 years old and own a Ford model A Fordor from 1931. Two years ago I bought it from an old man with original papers. It is an original Dutch Ford that has been assembled in Rotterdam or Antwerpen in 1930. Often I repair or maintain the car by myself. Together with a friend I drive from Rotterdam to Paris (France) or Heidelberg (Germany) +-1100 kilometers, (700 miles). I would like to share my car and story's from repairs! Kind Regards, Clint |

Hello Johnny,
I've planned this summer to go to London by boat from Rotterdam, but unfortunately corona ruined it. Kind Regards, Clint |

Here is another photo of the set, including the book that is part of the set. The book describes the Ford plant in Amsterdam, with photos, etc. Clint: we look forward to hearing more about your Euro Model A adventures. You've got a great looking car! Brad in Maryland |

Re: Ford from Holland
Hi katy, that starter is a 12 volt, Pro-Tork Ford Model A , High Torque Mini Starter. Nice thing is it works on the front side of the flywheel ring gear so it hits on never used gear teeth. I put AC in my car because of my being hospitialized twice with heat stroke, last year I missed out on several tours because of the heat. Now I can tour and be cool, my Wife also likes it but we keep a jacket and blanket in the car....lol. The AC requires 12 volt. For me, adding AC and switching to 12 volt has worked very well. I just touch the starter button and the engine is singing.

Re: Ford from Holland
Welcome Clint, in the picture of the engine compartment, I see you have a air conditioner installed, I also have a a/c installed in my town sedan, do you use it much in the Netherlands? I see an air filter on the other side of the engine, what type of carburetor do you use?
Enjoy your car! |
