Vintage Ford and Model T Times came this week

Post by DHort » Thu Jan 18, 2024 3:14 pm

The Jan/Feb Vintage Ford arrived Tuesday, and the Jan/Feb Model T Times arrived today. This is too much for me to handle in one week. I am going to get (MTOS) Model T Override Disease and end up out in the garage. It is only 10 degrees out there. Help.

Havent got my vintage ford yet.
Just a 20 year old who listens to 40 year old music, works on 75 year old airplanes and drives 100 year old cars.
The past is only simple because hindsight is 20/20.

It is the magazine you get when you join the club;

I should add that I got mine Wednesday or Thursday.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

I read the article on the green 1911, which I remember from the past. Two things I dislike that the new owner did. That oval rear window, looks so out of place, but it is his car. Next are those English tires. They are ugly! I wouldn't want them for free! The best looking tires are Firestone, and they wear very well.

Yes, the rear oval window may look out of place, but it has been part of the car's history for over 100 years! It is the main visual feature that ties it to all the all the old photos that I have of the car. I think that it would have been a big mistake not to have included it in the restoration, both from a historical perspective and the restored value of the car. The rear part of the top can be rolled up, allowing plenty of visibility while driving with it up.

Regarding the tires, you could not find a 30x3 tire in the US in the first half of 2022 due to the post Covid shipping mess when I ordered tires. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I think the Blockley's look fine and also appear to be fine quality tire. At least they were easier to install than the Riverside tires that I installed on the 1915 runabout!
