The Ford Model A In Everyday Life During The 1920's and 1930's

- This video is all about the Ford Model A and how everyday people used their car. Nearly 400 vintage photographs from the 1920''s to 1930's with people from all walks of life enjoying their Ford Model A. You will see them around vintage gas stations, restaurants, with their children, spouses, dogs, or just having fun. You will get a glimpse into what life was like back then.
There is no narration. Just music as pictures move across your screen.
When I am not making images for my normal (if there is such a thing) bodies of work as a photographer, I make plenty of fun videos for my Model A or other related videos from that time period that you can find on this channel too. Be sure to check them out.
As to gear, I shoot a variety of full frame Nikon cameras and lenses. Most everything is shot on a tripod to produce the sharpest images possible.

My 1930 Ford Town Sedan has eyebrow fenders and still has the original interior. It's certainly worn but it still is functional. I have rebuilt the driveline, suspension, and tie rods, installed a modernized Model A motor with oversized intake valves, insert bearings, and a high compression head. I also have a lightened flywheel and V8 clutch. The car comfortably cruises at 50MPH but I've had it up to 60MPH. I have also insulated and installed sound deadener which has made the car enjoyable to be in even at 90 degrees.

I loved this vid. I bought my first model A in '62. My father had to drive it home since I was too young to drive at the time. This led to a long love affair with the Model A. Thanks.

Hi Jim and welcome to the channel! Thanks for your comment!
Regarding the snowmobile mod, a Canadian car restoration show had one out on the lake for a try. They figured out that after you attach the "dead" rear wheels, you must deflate the four tires a bit to be able to fit the track on. Then you would reinflate to secure. Ford used similar physics to fit the flywheel. Ovens and freezers...
Hi and welcome to the channel! Thanks for your comment!
Cool to see all the ads on spare tire covers - I didn't know that was a thing!
I didn't realize it either but it makes perfect sense
Fabulous !
Hi and Welcome to the channel! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Ken, Is it possible you have another video of these cars sorted by style? It would be neat to see the photos of the phaetons, roadsters, tudors, four doors, cabriolets, etc grouped together so one can jump right to that chapter.
I don't, but you certainly gave me an idea for a future video!
What a great album showing America at a simpler time. The Model T got the ball rolling for America, but the Model A picked up the ball and ran with it!
So deluxe in every aspect, its hard to believe it came from the same company as the T.
Thanks for compiling this ( except 4:46, the earthquake) . You do a thoroughly quality job.
Hi Mark and welcome to the channel! Thanks so much for your comment!

Hi SunShine and welcome to the channel! Thanks so much for your comment!
@@kensmithgallery4432 Thank you, my pleasure.
The bumpers of the '74 to '89 911 made it the last car that one could sit on while parked and take a load off.
Hi Jerry and welcome to the channel! Thanks for your comment!
That picture down canery row,probably around 1935, l moved there in 1959 and l recognize it right off ,looked the same , but very shut down by the 60s
Hi and welcome to the channel! Thanks so much for your comment!
Great video. Enjoyed it very much. It demonstrates how many open cars have perished. Lots of them then, not many of them now. The coupe at 1:07 is not a Ford.
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks for watching!
Great pictures 😊😊 😊😊😊 7:20
Glad you enjoyed it.
i scribed--- liked great vid thank ya
Hi and welcome to the channel! Thanks so much!
The video was good, you should have mentioned the "TEAR DROP" washer against the impeller. The main comment that always bugs me is putting goop on a "GASKET" What do you think a gasket is for? The gasket is there to seal the two pieces you don't need anything else! I've spent my career in the Automotive Manufacturing engine parts world and this just bugs me. I only use in some cases some "High Tack" to hold a gasket in place but A GASKET IS FOR SEALING!
Well I guess I am a bit confused as I didn't mention anything about a Tear Drop in this video. I didn't mention anything as it's only music and photos. Perhaps you meant to comment on someone else's video? Anyhow, thanks for watching this one!
ah hoooga. wheels mr spock, a flivver captain.
Hi and welcome to the channel. Thanks so much!
Hard times
Always nothing but hard times
Most of them were dirty and dusty from the rough dirty dirt roads.
I see dead people just living their lives. Stuff that breaks and gets old and abandoned and then just disappears lost into time.
They indeed were.
what was the music at 6:23 min? anyone Know?
Hi and welcome to the channel. I am sorry for my delay in responding as it took some time to find it. The song is titled "Ain't No Place Like Home" instrumental version by Katrina Stone. It is part of the licensed musical library from the software program I use to create my videos called Photopia Creator. Hope that helps.
@@kensmithgallery4432 Thanks. Good choice in music.
@@devonbond3093 thanks so much!
