MAFFI Museum Model A Days 2023 at The Gilmore Auto Museum

[@quailstudios]

Lol that intro and outro was priceless. Looks like everyone had a great time Paul! Thanks for the video!

[@ModelA]

Thank you for moderating the live show on Saturday! I had zero worries knowing you were driving the chat.

[@ronkemperful]

I love your Model A coverage! My grandpa’s 2nd car was a Model A, which he drove from Denver to Golden daily. Flat tires were so common in those days, seldom a week went by without having to patch an inner tube, for multiple flats often occurred. He liked the A so much that he bought nothing but Fords his whole life.

[@ModelA]

Oh wow! Your grandpa sounds awesome

[@brockshields9336]

My watching this was interrupted, I'm glad I came back to finish it. Some very beautiful Model As.

[@FilamentFriday]

It was great to meet you and your wife this year at Gilmore. Sorry I interrupted your taco meal. Gilmore is a great place to see all the Model A’s. I also recommend you visit the Greenfield Village old car festival if you can. It was the weekend before this event in Dearborn MI. .

[@ModelA]

Glad to have met you!

[@leonardesposito5777]

Awesome time at model A Days!! Paul Annie and I were fortunate enough to meet Tina and chat for a bit but just didn’t want to interrupt you while you were visiting with others! It was so nice to at least see you and watch you having such a great time! Hope to be able to chat with you some other time. Thanks for all you do!

[@ModelA]

Just barge in there and say HI so I can meet you next time!! Wasn't that event wonderful?? Can't wait for next year.

[@leonardesposito5777]

We have met. We brought you the t shirts last year. We didn’t want to take away from folks that haven’t met you but we will make sure to visit with you next time.

1:51 Hand crank siren, Before I could read the plate on your Model-A fire truck siren, I thought it would be a Federal Sign and Signal as they still make motor driven sirens that fire departments seem to crave over their electronic cousins. You guys seem to be having a lot of fun, thanks for taking us along.

[@ModelA]

Thank you Mack

[@Go4Corvette]

Well, a late-night video on model A's is always welcome. Thanks, Paul.

[@ModelARickLasCruces]

So much fun. I had a great weekend at Model A Days 2023!

[@ModelA]

Same here! Now I meed to recover. Wow! It was busy. Every minute of each day was packed with awesomeness.

[@craigroberts3982]

Thank you Paul. It's always a pleasure to watch your content.

[@ModelA]

So nice of you. Thanks Craig

[@MrJeep75]

What a great museum

[@jasonhead1970]

Great video! Looks like a lot of fun.

[@MrJeep75]

Love that panel truck

[@elosogonzalez8739]

What fun! Some incredible vehicles.

[@charlesdalton985]

What an great way to start Monday. So much information and several laugh out loud moments. I agree with your assessment on Mr Glegg’s voice. Can we get him to record a book reading about Model As please? And for anyone who hasn’t been to Gilmore or this event - you really should, it was truly outstanding. Thank you as always ~ Chuck

[@ModelA]

Thanks Chuck!

[@GTP427cobra]

Paul I enjoyed you tour and you talking about all the different cars and trucks

[@ModelA]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jerrydennany4737]

It was a great event this year as always. And thank you and Tina for coming. You both are great stewards for our hobby. I think it will be hard to beat this year's event, but I believe we all are up for the challenge. Hope to see you again next year.

[@ModelA]

Thank you Jerry, and congratulations on "Volunteer of the Year"!!!! Look for a short clip of you and your coupe in a video soon.

[@desparky]

Always brings a smile to my face. Hope to get there one year too, from Australia.

[@ModelA]

Cheers to our Model A family down under!! We hope to get over there for the Model T festival next year. I need to get that "Real ID" thing though. I'm native American, we don't have borth certificates (tribal), so it's going to be a big hassle.

[@desparky]

@@ModelA we have lots of visitors from the USA, so hopefully the red tape isn't too difficult. I'm sure a lot of people will recognise you, as your name comes up often in Model A discussions. I hope you're not underwhelmed by our events. They're nothing like the size of those that you guys have. I'll say G'day if I bump into you. Cheers, Pete.

[@manuelstarr3602]

Hard to know what to say Paul. Thank you guys, 🚒

[@steveduecker9872]

What a great museum!

[@ModelA]

It is!

[@russellboyle1368]

I had the privilege of driving the fire truck at the 2019 at model A days, what a great event to attend. The Gilmore is an exceptional museum. Thanks Paul for bringing back such great memories. Greetings from down under .🦘🚕 Russell

[@ModelA]

Nice!! I was driving Ken Erinhoffer's fire engine. Absolutely breathtaking!,

[@bobblankenship3427]

Thank you Paul and Tina. Loved it. Looking forward to making the trip to the museum. Fantastic.

[@ModelA]

Our pleasure!

[@markymark903]

The fleetside pickup is beautiful. What a great museum. Thanks for sharing guys.

[@ModelA]

That's a 66A, they are beautiful

[@ronaldspins]

@ 24:19 Never in a million years would I have predicted Paul's BIG HEAD in a dunce cap .. this video had me on the edge of my seat ... surprise after surprise

[@dalemettee1147]

Paul, completed.

[@mattomon1045]

Paul that looks like fun!

[@ModelA]

It was! You need to go there, Matt

[@Dan-qy1rg]

I can't help but get a smile on my face when I see you all have so much fun. I really do love watching you all have the rides and all the wonderful old Model A's. And who wouldn't love the 400, what a beautiful car. Oh, I'll take that 66A another beauty, like who wouldn't want that one, wow! Thank you so much Paul for giving us a show that will make a guys heart flutter. I know you both are having a wonderful time and I hope you have a great evening!

[@ModelA]

Thanks Dan! I did a video on Doug Clayton's 66A a couple years ago. In depth look at it inside and out. They are stunning!

[@Dan-qy1rg]

I'll have to check it out when I can, Thanks!

[@ablelock]

Such a great video look forward to more content in the near future.

[@crf250lguy]

[@ModelA]

You can do it!!

[@JFRJesse]

Great Video!

[@ModelA]

Thanks Jesse!!!

[@Dakiraun]

That is SO cool. If I'm ever visiting the US again, I 'll have to see if I can check this place out.

[@ModelA]

You should!

[@crf250lguy]

Got the model a going to today thanks for the timing video

[@ModelA]

Great!!! Glad I could help

[@mikeparkercreative5136]

A great video...and a cool place!

[@ModelA]

Glad you enjoyed it Mike

[@MrJeep75]

Awesome

[@outlawd1]

Outstanding video Paul, definitely a liked video by me!!!

[@ModelA]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SergLa]

О, Пол! Мне тоже нравится эпоха 1930-х годов. Давай сделаем машину времени и перенесёмся назад во времени. Oh, Paul! I also like the era of the 1930s. Let's make a time machine and go back in time.

[@sheagoff6009]

I would love to ride that fire truck and run the siren. Old fire trucks are my favorite thing!!!

[@ModelA]

It was a dream come true for me!

[@MikeLoveBuns]

Enjoy video at Ford Model A museum! Mike from Missouri

[@ModelA]

Thank you Mike!

[@ModelA]

Gracias, Pablo!

[@MrJeep75]

Need to make that a period town, with a church a school a period store, ect

[@dalemettee1147]

As I've already said, my new hobby is coming along. In a way, Paul, I'm like you. The compressor for the airbrush wasn't what I liked as it came from the factory so I'm adding a 3 ltr. tank along with new piping and a tank gauge. Copper tubing attach the pump to the tank. Also, I'm quite interested in the depiction of the factory assembly line with the model autos. Where can you get those model cars. A perfect day at the location. Did Tina behave herself? haha Did she ask about waxes from the Ford Co. to protect their cars?

[@ModelA]

If you email me soon, I can send you the whole clip of the assembly line model. A lot of that clip was cut for time. Tina was a menace as usual!

[@romjone4801]

Hi Paul, can you please link the mp3's of those records you showed in th the videos.

[@ModelA]

As soon as John sends them, I will for sure

[@scortia22]

I'm super bummed I wasn't there. But this video is awesome. Paul question. Would a Canadian model A be referred to as a model A A. Lol. They need a fonzie type Model AAAAAA. sorry paul for my lame dad joke. I thought of that as soon as I watched your last video. Anyways. Glad to see you and model T had a great time.

[@ModelA]

I think it would be a Model Eh

[@williamfromky8109]

Hi Paul, I have a 29AA truck. Been having nothing but carb problems. Haven't been able to have it out any this year. It took over 8 weeks to get a new fuel bowl, rebuild kit and gage to set the float delivered. No matter what we do it runs way to rich and blows black smoke like a diesel. Does any company sell a kit or has anyone converted a Model A engine to EFI? I think I can hide a 12 volt battery and computer under the bed. Thanks for any info.

[@ModelA]

You just need a properly rebuilt Zenith carb. Call Steve over at Bert's and order one. Problem solved. You will likely have to send yours a a core.

[@williamfromky8109]

We ordered the parts from Bert's. Took over 8 weeks to get them. Bert's is not an option. I was told about Ron's Machine Shop in Shandon Ohio. They rebuild Model A engines. I was going to take it there but unfortunately Ron Miller just passed away so I'll wait a few weeks and try them again. @@ModelA

[@ModelA]

There's a carb rebuild guy not far from me. Want his info?

[@williamfromky8109]

@@ModelA Thanks Paul but I'm taking it to a local Museum. They specialize in old Fords and fire trucks. They're going to put a known good carb on it first to see if the running issue is solved.

[@scottsullivan1464]

So that is where the term Station Wagon comes from?

[@ModelA]

Yep

[@crf250lguy]

Where do I get upholstery 4 door sedan 1932

[@crf250lguy]

I think it's a Murray body I don't know

[@williamforbes5826]

Paul Shinn, taxi driver from the Benny Hill Show!

[@ModelA]

Loved Benny Hill! What a compliment, thank you good sir!

[@williamforbes5826]

@@ModelA Hey! Where was the little old bald headed guy at MAFFI? Gotta have him to pat him on the head!

[@ModelA]

tap tap tap tap tap!!! Remember the one where the bald guy was the astronaut? The reporter asked Benny why they chose Jackie to go to space, and Benny said it was because he represents the youth of Britain! HAHAHAHAA

[@williamforbes5826]

@@ModelA On an historical note, the British WW2 Mosquito twin engine fighter was made largely from wood. A throw back to an older form of construction. They were short of trained, experienced metal workers, but flush with wood workers. So Old British wood workers built one of the best fighters of the war out of Wood! Would you have guessed that? Haha! Necessity is the mother of invention! And again, nice to meet you two! Only 359 days until Model A Days 2024!

[@tomburdett6639]

👍👍👍😁

[@johncharlton2602]

Very interesting video ,thank you Paul . I eagerly waited for you to look at the English built 180A de luxe phaeton but you passed it by . Very sadly it has been well and truly "Americanised" by innocent well meaning folk . The original fender lights are gone and cowl lights fitted . These were not legal in England and were never fitted to English built cars . The overdressed wheels and spare tyre cover are wrong it would have had the one "Service Bulletins April 1931 page 554/277 . The headlamps have no script as they were not ""Twolite" as fender lights fitted only single bulb reflectors Was most likely "Ford Maroon" when new not that startling red colour . My feeling is a car in a museum should represent as built condition . I will post pictures on "Ford Barn" of English headlamps the only thing mild steel is the fitting bolt to the headlamp bar the rest all stainless .

[@billpalm1469]

Did you know about this place …it’s up the road from you

Only in AMERICA! WE ARE SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE SUCH a wonderful community of intelligent individuals running and maintaining our past history. Beautiful cars ,great job Mrs T and Paul.

Yeah, you look funny in a hat....
