Id hate to see your joint, physical, condition when you actually get old. You are grunting and groaning like me and I'm about 1/2 way thru joint replacement. Left knee today as a matter of fact. Good luck man.

It is nice to see this car not sitting in a garage like it did for 30 years since I first saw it

Great editing work,great Carmen man work,.. we had a lot of fun making this video and all other 70 videos we have made

Good luck on your travels , glad to see others enjoying these wonderful cars. I talked you for a few at the hill climb. If ever need anything, parts exc. just holler. Happy motoring!

Another successful trip in the old ford and a second trophy. That’s a fantastic car. Great shenanigans

Very nice I have a 1986 Ford Ranger Turbo Diesel 4 x 4 bought it in 94

looks solid

Like the ranger.

You won a trophy and solved a fuel system issue. That’s a winner in my book.

Garage looks great.

From one model A ow ner to anot her, Join a model a club, You will get a lot of help. Buy the Model A ford repair book volume 1, the red book by Les Andrews. When you start it put your spark lever up then pull it down when it starts. I bought my first Model A in 1959 when I was 16. Still have it and 3 others. I live in Tennessee and will offer help if you have questions. Congratulations and welcome to the best hobby in the world..

Awesome car I hope you fix it to stay original

No creature comforts like a ROOF. L.O.L. are you mad NO WAY. good on you for going on your first road trip in the A

I had a 84 Riviera Brand New back in the day! Wonderful Car ! Enjoy Yours!!

Beautiful Riviera 💜💜

Great shenanigans, each repair makes the car a little better than before. That’s going to be a great car.

I had a 93 I drove the shit out of 760 thousand miles. Got totaled insurance paid me good. Bought a better one 600 bucks only 300 thousand miles

Your first road trip video just warmed my heart! I like your determination, your perseverance, your never give up attitude, and optimizm ...inspite the rain, no roof, no rear window, seeping radiator, and one working headlight! You are quite the inspiration for the rest of us Model A ers! Thank you for posting... happy trails! 😊

At 65, & in the auto biz, I've had 4 Rivieras..65, 83, 85 & a 93..My favorite was the 85 White on white w/ red leather & factory Bose.. Beautiful classic & built Buick tough..Easy to work on also...Would buy another & there going up in value..Would be a very good investment for a young car guy..Just put it away for another 20 years & no telling what they will be worth.

With the greatest respect it would be helpful if you made more effort to steady your camera while filming.

To cool thank you for sharing the adventure.

Great first adventure, made it round trip under its own power! It’s amazing how reliable a ninety year old car can be. Looking forward to more shenanigan.

Check that fan for cracks. That’s the one weak point in the Model A engine. Those engines run forever, which is why the rest of the car looks so exhausted. Also, don’t downshift into first until you are almost completely stopped.

OMG, that guy wouldn’t shut up. I hate listening to car sellers’ BS.

If you get frustrated with it, walk away, work on some other project .

I had a 1982 Riviera for over 30 years drove it day and night for 30 years when I sold it it had 1 million 57.000 miles on it and bought a 1983 Riviera I love these cars.

Congrats

Hope your keyway turns out beneign. Get in touch with Paul Shinn he is a modle A guru!

Thats the important thing! Im so happy for you! Hope you and your friend able to lube her and get a roof on her and seats and head liner with interior trim and paint her. Way to go! Enjoy in good health!

Young fella says 1931. Seller said 1930 ?? Hood morning and we are having more snow.😊

don't know if you look at Merlins old school garage but he's done quite a few model A video's lately. good info. enjoyed good find. though I might like to have one till I saw you try to get out. then rethought. hell to be old. any way good fine and enjoyed

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

I have known this car and the former owner his name was bill bratton and he passed away this time last year. His son sold it to the man you bought it from. I painted the wheels in 91 or 92 for bill. I don't think he drove a mile on them they were new tires then If you would like me to put you in contact with his son let me know

Did this car come from eastern Iowa?

So glad for you. Whatever you paid, the smile on your face tells all. Enjoy your new car and take all the time to put it back in top condition that it deserves. You have a piece of history. Can't wait for the finished product. Dave

VERY NICE PROYET

Did you lose your right leg?

Well, certainly a lot of shots of you ... Hopefully the other videos are more focused on the cars and useful guy stuff. Not really into the content on this vid. I mean a landau top isn't really research or technical. And yes, news break...old stuff is........old. However one thing we are learning about modern technology, it does not necessarily make new cars more reliable or repairable.

Thank you

Very 'Kool" !! Model A fan here since a youngster in the early 1950's. LOL about how many times people forget to open the gas valve !! The other thing most people eventually forget is to turn around that timing pin when you set the timing. Usually found a few feet from where the "test drive" begins. ;o) You will find that most of the problems you experience on the Model A will be very basic in nature and you/we tend to "over-think" the possibilities during the diagnosis stage as evidenced with this axel key or the coil wire issues. You're lucky to have someone like Dave to accelerate and smooth the Model A learning process as Model A's are quite a bit different from what we have learned to be "the normal" driving scene. The first thing I would recommend is to install that front floor board so you can drive it like a "human". ;o) Any case, ENJOY !!! Lots of good Model A suppliers. Brattens and Berts among the best and most reliable.

First drive, first breakdown,first repair, first forget all in one trip lol

I can't wait to have that smile on my face like you have in that A.

What did it cost you?

You will likely need to back off the brake shoes to get the hub off. It takes a special wrench. Get one when you purchase the axle keys. you will need it eventually. Good luck! A's are fun to play with.

link to the rims and tires thinking of putting these on my ranger

That sure was a great price for your Model A and it's also great to have Dave's help 👍 best to you!

Great for you were able to find an A for that price. Nice to have you in the Model A community. Your going to love it. Thanks

So happy for your 31 Model A rescue! Lord bless you and your family.
