Fair is fair. As much as we love them, our cars must have some things we're not all that fond of.

My fordor sedan has more rattles then a large diamond back snake, but is fun to drive anyway.

Mike V. Florida · 01-04-2013, 06:11 PM

I don't have time to drive it more!

SDJason · 01-04-2013, 06:36 PM

very little - the hood & front fenders need a paint job, and I really want to move the spare to a wheel well so that I can get a trunk on the back - what'd people do in the old days - pile everything up on the back seat?

What I don't like about mine; living in Iowa I don't get to drive it every day.

Yes, there are things that would make it look and drive better, but they don't make me not like it.

Non-synchronized transmission. That didn't happen for another 30 years (1st gear).

Our PU is a wide bed, but not a wide body...while we ARE!

Getting in and out with doors that don't open enough to get my 11 1/2's in.

RHD · 01-04-2013, 07:35 PM

Iv'e really racked my brain, and I can't think of anything. She's just perfect.

gweilbaker · 01-04-2013, 07:46 PM

I have yet to find the ODB port,oh darn! And I get ask silly questions... does it still run, how much is it worth etc

c125bob · 01-04-2013, 07:55 PM

Not getting to drive it enough ! Happy with everything else.

glenn in camino · 01-04-2013, 08:34 PM

I don't dislike anything. They're my passtime and my passion.

BILL WILLIAMSON · 01-04-2013, 09:01 PM

Only lack of leg room, but we fixed that!! Bill W.

PO51 · 01-04-2013, 09:09 PM

SD. Put a reg rack on back. I have 31 tudor with back spare wheel, all ok .get the heavy duty [about 100.00] extended for rear spare tire bracket. Had mine since 2002 and I bought the cheap regular extended bars. I carry about 80# of stuff back there and there ok but I keep putting off getting the real thing. Have fun modelAtony Lafayette,la

29ModelA · 01-04-2013, 09:16 PM

I wish it was a Tudor. It would be easier to take my son with the wife and I.

I guess that means we have to buy another one huh? We really do like the coupe.

lance leblanc · 01-04-2013, 09:38 PM

More of a regret than a dislike, but I wish I had taken pictures of Betty the day I pulled her out of her former garage where she had been stored for nearly 20 years.

roccaas · 01-04-2013, 10:17 PM

Every time I hit a bump or go around a corner, more paint flys off. The $ calculation on rep ain't doesn't quiet yet work out.

This goes for ALL rare Model "A" Fords... THE SPECIAL PARTS made for that body style only.... We all love our cars but sometimes that 1 or 2 parts just are not out there to find to complete a correct restoration.
