What is the hardest Model A accessory to find

[quickchange]

Try this rare intake & exhaust manifold that takes a standard carb but is documented to give 36 miles per gallon . I have the full history as to when they where made , who by , turned up on NZ e bay, couple of years ago, Have dismantled it & taken picture of inside. Will fit RHD vehicles .
Had a pair of 28-29 fender lights few years ago, pos english, gave them away. early AR RHD hand brake , have a couple of them.

Here is another sort of hard to find period correct accessory. The Fumaze has come up and been discussed here recently. Here is mine. xxx

"Debris would have to enter through the fuel line to clog the needle valve."

I should have been a little more specific, that is what I was refering to, in turn dumping the fuel onto the muffler, thats my kind of luck...

Quickchange and Tom, you guys find some wierd stuff....

I agree with Bob-A. There are two distinctly different catagories of Model A accessories. Authorized and Unauthorized. On the Authorized list for things that attach to the vehicle I vote for the fender lights. I have a set for the 29 vehicles but they are not with me here in AZ to provide a picture. The lights mimic the headlights down to the lens style only in miniture. I looked at Hershey for over 15 years before I found the 29's. Altough I wanted 30's I didn't pass them up just because of the rarity.

Maybe the original Fulton Wind wings with the glass fitted .To clamp between the upper and lower glass opening in closed cars.

Coming up for sale in a while in Swap meet section.

I've seen these lights on many car pics on the Buenes Aries, Argentina Model A club website, all in spanish, but a fun website to visit!

The cigar/cigarette lighter that mounts on the steering column. I am pretty sure these are an authorized accessory.

I have only seen one but then maybe they our quite common in other areas.

Got one of these, except don't have the rod that goes to the starter- how many rods is it one-two three? What's the diameter of the rod? What are the threads (if it has several rods) and whats the dimensions on the end that fits into to handle? I'd like to make the rod?

The odd manifold isn't mine, but was on display at the Kansas City national meet a dozen years ago. I don't know who owns it, but he told me it was bought at the auction north of the Twin Cities.

My un-scientific guess is that the design allowed more pre-heating of the air/fuel mixture for better vaporization resulting in better gas mileage.-Bill W.

Holley prototype carb is pretty unique...

I had these Perfect-O-Lites New Old Stock Aftermarket 6 volt headlight bulbs that when installed would actually show you the road around a curve.

Sorry, I sold them earlier this year on EBay and they are now down in a museum collection in Austrailia.
