Since we drive our Model A year round in the Northwest, My wife's favorite Model A accessory brand is the Auto-lite heater manifold. Delightful in cold weather.

Useful product but the brand is a bit dull.

Dunno if I have a favorite brand but Fulton made a lot of accessories. I have a disability that makes it difficult to operate the starter with my foot - the pull-up starter is very helpful. The first picture shows the lever that clamps to the steering column support - the second shows the rod that replaces the starter pedal and runs to the lever. As the name implies, pulling up the lever activates the starter. There are similar modern units but this is an original - was on the car when we got it.

Any era accessory (that I can afford) is my vote.

My father while I was growing up worked at the Weaver plant in Springfield Ill.



He would have retired from them but the factory was closed and moved to the south leaving him and his coworkers without the pensions they were promised.


Thank you UAW.
