video of my first drive in my model A fordoor
My grandpa bought this A in 1976 for 1500$. It was painted(poorly, looks ok in photo but is falling off the car) he bought it not firing. It was put off and packed into garages only seeing the light of day to move with grandpa state to state. over the last 40 years. A few years ago I started working on the car when I would visit my grandfather once a year. This year I got it moving and got him out for a ride. He gave me the car this year. This is my first test drive in the car. Watch the video i posted to youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y9anzJLKks

I have paint on order for it now. After that i am going to sew a new interior for it. She was backfiring because i didn't know about the fuel valve yet.

Wow, those are eyebrow fenders. That's a Kari-Keen trunk, an aftermarket piece.

Re: video of my first drive in my model A fordoor
Looks like an early 30 model. It has the 28-29 dash with the oval speedometer.

Re: video of my first drive in my model A fordoor
Mike Welcome to the club and thanks for keeping your car in the family. You have Briggs bodies fordoor that is either a standard or Townsedan. I could not see a light switch on the passenger side pillar but if it is there and the dome light is in the back above the rear window you have a Townsedan. If not and the dome light is in the center of the roof you have a standard.
Either way you will have a VERY comfortable riding car. How is the wood in your car? Mike
