Differences Between '28/'29-'30/'31
Gentlemen, I'm still learning, trying to educate myself...are there differences between visors,windshield frames, and sedan quarter window garnish moldings for the different years?
Thanks Last edited by Dragfink; 01-25-2022 at 03:49 PM. |

Re: Differences Between '28/'29-'30/'31
The best easiest answer is to get a copy of the judging standards, as other than the gross differences between the 28-29 and 30-31's, Model A's evolved all four years. The standards will give you the number of changes and when each occurred. Some parts have 5,6,7 or more changes!

With the right power tools and drill bits, all parts are interchangeable between the 28-29 and 30-31's

Wheels stand out as a big difference. They all sound the same though whilst running.

Re: Differences Between '28/'29-'30/'31
Just a wild guess, but somewhere between 1 and 4 years!
Seriously though. The book Henry’s Lady has detailed differences of all years and models. |

Re: Differences Between '28/'29-'30/'31
Essentially as time goes on Henry's son was given more control over the looks of the A.
What you do not see is the change in fit on the interiors. Subtle changes to things like seat position and seat movement along with steering wheel position helped with making the car more comfortable to drive. Keep in mind I did say small. If you are tall a 28 roadster pickup is not for you. You want to look at slant window bodies. If you have ever been in a truck cab you know it is tight for 2. The ad shows 3 guys in the cab. All I can think of is being the middle person in the coupe as a kid and how you tend to get 'friendly' as you shift back to thrid. You get real friendly if it is an adult. As for body panels and frames there are many changes that are not compatible. Trying to build a 31 vicky on a 28 frame is not going to be fun. Too many changes. It is important to have the JS and restoration handbook so you will know the differences in parts as you build even it you are only building for yourself. |
