1930 FORD MODEL A TUDOR (2-DOOR). This is a 1930 original "all
metal" 2 door Model A that was owned by the same gentleman in South
Carolina for over 60 years. I was told when I purchased the car
that the engine had been rebuilt once but the body has never been
off of its chassis. As you can see from the photos as well as in
the YouTube video the paint is in really good condition, I suppose
because the car was always kept inside the previous owners garage.
I am not a body shop kind of guy but as far as I can tell I believe
the paint to be original. Recent maintenance work that was done
included a complete grease job, a new leak-less water pump and a
radiator flush with new hoses. The original radiator fan blade was
replaced with a new aluminum one because I was told that the
original blades have a tendency to come apart. The entire ignition
circuit was rewired including a replacement keyed ignition switch
and new insulated distributor cable. A Nu-Rex ignition distributor
plate with Blue Streak points and condenser was installed. I bench
tested the original ignition coil and found that the primary
circuit was very weak so I replaced the coil with a new Blue Streak
coil (not shown in the photos but it is shown in the You Tube
video) The carburetor was rebuilt and adjusted. Four new tires,
tubes and rubber rim strips were installed (all tires date coded
July 2024). I removed the instrument panel speedometer and
lubricated it and installed a new speedometer cable. The valves
were adjusted and I had the Intake/Exhaust manifold re-surfaced at
a local machine shop to assure that there would be absolutely no
leaks after I installed it. The car has a brand new Die-Hard
battery and battery cables. The starter seemed to be very sluggish
so I replaced it along with the Starter Switch that I purchased
from Snyders. When I had the cars front end lifted I could feel
some play in the King Pins on both sides so I installed new King
Pins from Snyders.
