I was very fortunate to get to drive my father's 1928 Model A to high school and play happy days. It is the vehicle that I learned how to drive on, back in 1963. It truly was a blast to drive. It was about the same condition as your '29 but his was a 2 door with the fold up front seats. My sister went to her high school prom in this Model A. I am surprised that you did not mention any of the cool things about the car, like the spark advance and throttle on the steering wheel, the push button starter on the floor, the pop out ignition on the dash next to the floating gas gauge or the vacuum windshield wiper that would stop when going up a hill or the windshield that pushed out from the bottom. Ah yes, the good 'ol days of yesterday !!

90. 90 freakin’ years old, and it still looks and runs as good as this one does. I’m trying to imagine what the world was like as the first owner drove it home. A WW1 vet was only around 30 years old. Flying machines had been around for 16 years. Electric start (on Cadillacs) was 17 years ago. And now here she is still running down the road as nicely as some new cars, (with a little extra gear whine). She deserves a little more love.

[@ModelA]

The first owner was a dentist and used the car to visit patients in their homes for dental work during and well after the depression. During WW2, the car was well stored. In the very late 40's, the car was used by one of the grandkids for school transportation but driven very little. In the 60's the car was stored again. In the late 70's the car was used once in a great while but seldom. In the early 90's the car was used to take the grandkids for ice cream. Then the original owner died in a motorcycle accident. The car sat. My (adoptive) dad ended up with it in the late 90's. I ended up with it in the early 2010's and made it run again. That's it in a nutshell.

In 1964 I bought a 1929 Model A two-door from a gentleman in a rural area east of Fayetteville, Arkansas. We towed it to an automotive shop to have it checked out. They noted that the line from the fuel filter to the carburetor had been removed and a tap had been installed on the output side of the filter. It turned out that the gas tank contained not gas, but corn liquor. They steamed out the tank, replaced the fuel line, cleaned the spark plugs and installed a new battery, and it started right up. I had a lot of fun driving it around the back roads in that area.

Boot leg Model A? That's hilarious! Now we know where they his the moonshine. My grandfather made bathtub beer! Everyone else in the Czech German community did the same.

That's about all the special items I can remember. Dad stopped driving it in 1951 and it set in granary for awhile and in the late 60's while school I cleaned the gas tank and lines and it started dove it around. Sadly after that it just rusted away outdoors, until the late 70's, we had a storm with over a 150 miles a hour winds, it folded the vines on the windmill straight out, Dad found another good one and the person help place it, so Dad traded the 29 for the undamaged fan and labor.

What a wonderful video! Thank you so much for this. I'd say you are a very rare man to have found an unrestored 1929 car in that beautiful condition. I appreciate what you offered in lubricating the distributor, but more so in telling us that restored versions are not as good as unrestored. I'm sure if you noted all the reason a good vintage car mechanic would be able to figure out why this is so. I'm about to watch another video of yours, but let me say Thank You again. Unrelated- my eyes played a trick on me. At 0:21 when I first had a partial view of the red vacuum cleaner handle with the black trunk being behind it, I thought it was a Cushman. Hahaha!

Ha ha! you and I remember those! Since the Christmas stuff was still out and we had a bunch of family over, the wife put a bunch of the house stuff in my shop right there. It's gone now.

That olive coupe with the yellow wheels was gorgeous

You can tell they had spur gears in the transmission in those days and that's where the whine comes from. Fantastic running vehicle.

Thanks, Mike! Yes, 1st and 2nd gears are straight cut gears.

[@mikesamra9126]

@@ModelA Is the 3rd gear helical cut?

[@ModelA]

@@mikesamra9126 No. 3rd gear is straight through. In 3rd, the input shaft is connected directly to the output shaft. Thank you for asking!

Grew up in the 1950s. We had a neighbor and friend that had one of these old Fords. He called it the jalopy. I remember him asking me if I wanted to go for a ride in the jalopy. Its been a long time ago, but I've ridden in one!

Then, like it or not, you're one of us! Welcome, brother Duffy.

[@duffysullivan2794]

@@ModelA Ha! Thanks for the warm welcome. This was in San Francisco. I was probably 7 or 8 years of age, so that would put the ride in 1955 or '56.

When I was a kid, my Dad found a 22 model A pickup in someone's back yard covered in weeds and junk. It had a wood truck bed and wood wheel spokes with solid rubber tires and a tared roof. I helped bring it home and put it in our garage. Then Dad handed me a list of all the things he wanted me to get done on the restoration project of the Ford. I did that everyday after school for years. Eventually got it running. I had four siblings that would jump in for rides but never lifted a finger to help. First big project I ever did. Came home from school one day and it was gone. Dad sold it. Did not say a thing to me about; nor a penny for my efforts. That was the beginning of the end between us.

If it was a 1922 Ford, then it was a Model T.

[@Babybugex]

dang 50 mph..That is a tearing rush in that car....Now the 40 Ford would haul ass and moon shine!!!

[@ModelA]

Yes. 50 MPH in this car gets your blood pumping. A '40 Ford is an entirely different car, my friend. Really wish I had one! I'd drive the wheels off of it!

[@darrellross1]

@@ModelA 50 mph was plenty fast for the primitive roads we drove on back then. It takes me an hour to drive 12 miles in heavy rush hour. I see BMW's with 400hp in the lane next to me crawling along. Your 1929 Model A and a modern high performance car would arrive at their destination at the same time. How's that for progress!
