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.

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...

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.

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.

I forgot to add this. The one thing I accidently discovered, my model A never did run well. Then one day when checking the points, just before using the car in a wedding, I noticed that when the points were advanced, the gap changed, which reduced the dwell and so the spark was very poor. I filed the notch larger in the distributor cap, the notch permits the points plate to move back and forth, and that fixed the problem of the gap changing, so the car ran much better. About a year ago, I decided I wanted the car to run really well, so I purchased an electronic ignition kit for it, and converted it over to a 12 volt system, and now it really runs good. I have had my model A, a 1928 2 door sedan, just like yours, for 56 years and the brakes have always been terrible. If Covid ever ends, I am going to switch the car to juice brakes. Even power front disk brakes, if I can find a kit. I am not a purist, just like to have a safe car to ride in. I even put seat belts in it, so my grand kids are safer. Hope this helps.

That flathead 4 runs really well. I agree that you need to fine tune the timing to get more advancement out of it. You really fit the part when you dress for it. I really enjoyed it when the whole family is involved. To make sure you get all the sludge out of the engine run it for awhile and change the oil one more time so it will be ready for storage. See if Coker tire sponsor you some new Casings for the 28. Sorry for the long post. May you and your family have a Blessed One Sir.

You should cover the roof with black Perspex. It will be the only Model A with a panoramic sunroof.

I’m subscribed. My friend and I drove his 1914 Model T touring from Iowa to Chicago to attend an antique car show. Two lane roads all the car came with a Manifold cooker. We made roast pork with potatoes and carrots and it cooked on the manifold on our way to a campground. We could smell the pork cooking while we drove. Car ran perfectly to Chicago and back.

@@Sleeperdude I got the full screen of your thumb nail of this video it came out Super Cool Wawa had herself an RC Cola Smile, everyone came out looking great, And the Greatest Of All Times the GOAT is ‾ ‾ ‾ ‾ looking Super Cool Too Ooh wee!🎈☁ Granny Goat gave the garage her hi Blessings and a safe send off to you all at the beginning of the video so that you all would get back safe in your return back home in one piece. Granny goat paused and stop at the entrance of the garage on the first video when you and the family first had your test drive. I think she was a little nervous for you all , cool thing to see an old goat do her thing too . Tell me Sleeper dude how much would you sell that picture of your thumb nail in a poster size for $. I like it very much it looks Super Cool .

This is the perfect reason why you let an engine warm up before you change the oil that sludge would come out a lot easier

I have really enjoyed seeing the “A” on the road again. I like the old pictures of cars that have been in the family. I have a 1924 Ford T that I had before my kids were born so there are pictures of them all through their lives in the “T”. My son has it now so there are pictures of my grandkids in it . My son is 48 now 👍👍🎩

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.

A very COOL old car!! Part of Americas History, and part of YOUR Family!!!! Double declutch when you change gears, do not rush gears changes!! Non synchromesh gearboxes back then! Speedo probably needs cleaning inside, it could be worn out?? No doubt repo speedo,s can be purchased.
