Default New Car Instructions

I found this old photo of Placerville, CA (Hangtown) that shows a Model A coming through town. It looks like it may still have the "New Car Directions" sticker on the windshield.

Love the section on brakes on not applying to quickly to avoid a rear end collision

Carl, any chance you know this one came from?? This is a new style that I have not seen.

On the ones I have under Tires, it lists the actual tire size. It does mention the 4.50-21 as 35 lbs but it also says 4.75-21 were to be at 40 lbs. On the later 4.75-19 it says 35 lbs but in parenthesis it mentions 5.00-19 were to be 40 lbs. Also it mentions TRIPLEX Safety Glass under Inspection, and at the very top it has the printing date for the form but mine does not say "Ford Form", just Form 3027. I have collected 3 of the 4 years and one for AA.
