I need a recommendation for a cell phone holder that works well in a Model "A". I prefer that the holder mounts on the dash rail near the steering wheel because I use "Ways" to navigate to Model "A" club events. Pictures will be nice to see.

Bob, I looked that app up, is it "Ways" or "Waze" that you use?

i have one of these and it works, it mounts on the dash without having to drill anything. But i would recommend putting some sticky tape behind it so it doesn't scratch anything...

Attached article is how I mounted a GPS device. It is easily removable. The same thinking can be applied to a cell phone.

One of the guys I work with at Greenfield Village has an A he drives often. He has the one from Snyder's and is highly complementary of it.

Glue a strong magnet to the back of the cell phone then glue a soft piece of cloth to the magnet. Then mount it anywhere you want.

No hands free? Put it in your pocket and pull over to make a call.
Using for navigation? No audio? Distracted driving against the law in TN…..of course never enforced! |

Distracted driving in newer modern’s ! Some or most have a big screen in the middle of the dash ! A built-in distraction ! Also the bright screen is blinding at night ! Rant over !
One morning driving to work on an Interstate highway, some lady was steering with her elbows using the lighted mirrored sun visor put makeup on ! I’am glad I’am retired !

I’ve seen the “putting make up on” thingy more than once!
The mfg bigger screens don’t take a drivers full field of vision. But YES they are a distraction imho. You know your getting old…..when you like everything the was it WAS! That’s me! |

No problem, I just wanted to make sure I was looking at the correct app.

I agree with Neil's rcommendation to use a magnet to hold your phone. I took a quick look on Amazon, they were showing a variety of bases that use magnets to hold cell phones.
Caution when using adhesives, some adhesives can work so well they end up removing the paint their attached to. |

I would advise against getting a windshield-mounted phone holder. My coupe's windshield vibrates ever so lightly. Not noticable in regular driving, but it makes my phone unusable.

I am old school when it comes to using a phone, and I still have a land line. I rarely use my cell phone, but I want to have it handy in the Model "A" just in case an urgent need to communicate arises. I think the magnet idea is what I will do. Thanks nkaminar for the idea! Thank you all who posted suggestions, they are appreciated.

I bought one of these off Amazon. I'm not affiliated with the brand or Amazon, but I really like how well it works.

Will the magnet goof up the cellphone? They use magnets to erase some electronic stuff. ???
