94 year old car back on the road, and first wash!

In this video we clean up and drive my grandfathers 1928 Ford model A, that he has owned since 1977 . The car has been parked for the last 17-18 years but thankfully he has stored it inside. It has a flathead inline 4 cylinder 201 cid. with 40 horsepower , and 3 speed manual transmission. I have always loved this car as he has owned it for my entire life and I played in it a lot as a child.

Spent a lot of my youth wrenching on anything with a motor with my father. I learned so many things and have so many priceless memories. Seeing you doing the same with your children moves me to tears sometimes. I remember being so mad at him when i was 7 and he bought a fixerup minibike for my twin brother and myself. He wouldn't let us ride it until we completely tore it down, rebuilt it and could explan the basics of the operation of a 2 stroke motor to him...

[@vladchan]

Life is good in a model A. You got yourself an enclosed cabin to protect from the elements (heater optional). And you start it with a push button so you don't take out an arm cranking. And a windshield wiper too, just not an electric one.

What a car ! I runs like it was new . So fun to watch this video. My Mother told me that she drive a Model-T ones in the 50`s and she field like the Ford was driving on it`s own and she just controlled the car . She said it was not like driving any other car . She also remember that that most family's in Denmark had Model-a cars when she grow up .

[@Sleeperdude]

[@talegunner4414]

I love these cars. Original My father in law has a 1936 three window coup V8 with a rumble seat. For the most part its original. He did change out the brakes to hydraulic and the engine has been changed out. He took the body off the frame and cleaned and painted the farme. Then he had the body painted. Its cordoba grey. Its really beautiful. Other than that is pretty much original. I haven't had the chance to ride in it yet but I love it. My father in law doesn't want a hot rod. He says there are only so many of these still around and each one you rod its one less original. Just an FYI the bumper is not chrome its stainless steel. Black was the favorite color for Model T and A. Black was the only color that would dry fast enough to pain the body and keep up with the assembly line.

[@billyguidry9654]

Love your episode on the model A. My favorite car in the world. Really enjoy your videos, family and goats. Thanks Billy

[@letterpress_outlier]

Great job Sleeperdude must be such a contrast to driving a modern car

[@Sleeperdude]

Thank you yes it is

[@Citizen_Snips1]

The car cleaned up beautifully, new roof skin and some beauty work on the paint should be catching eyes all the way down the road! The steering box of a Model A is meant to be lubricated with a thick oil originally designated 600W (About 120-240 SAE). The grease fitting on the box really did cause some confusion back when they came off the line like that, but the manual and service bulletins specifically warn to only use 600W oil and not grease for steering box lubrication. Since the Differential, Transmission, and Steering Box all take the same thick oil, I just buy it in bulk for all three. Either 120-240 SAE from the store (Whatever your car likes best) or 600W from one of the Model A parts vendors.

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok thank you

What a nice video and your beautiful family loves the old cars and helps with them also. And Rocky the super goat right there to keep everything in line, so cool. I love that little Goat that your daughter was holding, I kinda think Pebbles is spoiled already. That '28 Ford runs very good man I would love to go for a ride in that car. All you needed with the blue jeans and suspenders was a black over coat and Eliot Ness would have been proud. You have got her road ready and that's wonderful. And Rocky says hey I ain't about to be intimidated by the bigger Goat this is my place. I love that old Falcon also and look forward to seeing you work on it when the time comes. A friend of mine had a '63 Falcon back in our high school days many decades ago now. Keep the video's coming please sir lots of folks enjoy them besides me, thanks and be safe, all of you.

Hearing that car run my first thought was the Waltons. John boy's car sounded like that. Great old car. When I was a kid we went to California from Oklahoma to visit my great grandmother every other year. We went by train until my dad bought a new 1950 Chevrolet. Going through the desert almost all cars had a bag of water or two hanging from the front bumper in case the car got hot. We never had to use our water but we saw people who did.
