Farmers tan
I wish this was America today.
I understand how you feel. Thanks for watching!
Things weren't that great. A lot of men were out of work with no prospects. Adults then had a lot of stress. A friend of mine told me that she was the only one working in their family at one point. All the men were laid off. Houses that had sold for high prices in the 1920's were abandoned by 1931 because nobody could afford them. It is an interesting part of history and the cars are neat but I would take today over then any day. If you want to play 1930's today you can buy a nice restored Model A and drive it periodically and for most days drive a modern car with air, heat and performance.....
Ironically my father had a 1928 roadster here in Australia and his name was Herbert but everyone knew dad as Burt. 😄. After he returned from the world war 2 he bought the ford. He had that car till 1968, done a huge amount of work with it. He sold it in 1968. When he had enough money saved up he bought a second hand 1964 EH Holden, and we still have that car today. The old Ford was restored and is still around today but far from here where we live. Wonderful memories. 🥲
What a great story! Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Awesome video that shows the greatest generation!!! Henry Ford was an engineering genius and the Model A is a classic. God Bless America
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching!
As a fellow Model A'er, these films are such a wealth of information in details amd how things were done - entertaining too! Keep them coming!
I plan to! Thanks for watching!
The Model A was a really a good looking car. Much better than the Model T. Great old video. 💯💕👊👍
@@terryeustice5399 as always, thanks for watching!
What a great day. Thank you for talking about Roland Ratzenberger he is a much forgotten racing driver. Rest in Peace Roland 😢
Thanks for watching!
nice historical find!!!...this is amazing!!...you always hear..."back in the day we paid cash for everything"...this video proves that Ford has been financing cars to consumers for 100 years.
Well said! Thanks for watching!
Back when FORD was a customer friendly company, that designed and produced cars the public wanted. Today they foist what they want on the consumer. People- meaning young married couples still want a cheap simple 4 door with a trunk. Why oh why, Ford have you let us down???
Ken, I don’t know where you find these old Ford films but please keep it up!
I plan to! Thanks for watching!
Horse and wagon @ 7:28 Also, it became fashionable in the 1920s for businessmen to have dark tans (looks painful to me, LOL!).
I bet it hurt too! Thanks for watching!
My grandfather told me about the 1930 Model A Roadster, which he bought new with cash, his first car.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
*Different era, and I miss that....*
@@gailmrutland6508 so do I. Thanks for watching!
Just looking at all that maintenance, especially the greasing, tuning etc required every 1000 miles makes me very happy I drive a modern Toyota... 😊😂
I get it! Thanks for watching!
Those were the days!!!😢
Indeed! Thanks for watching!
I loved how they do the under car lub.
Me too! Thanks for watching!
I would give anything to go back to that era and sell Fords at that dealership
Me too! Thanks for watching!
great and the same exists today. How is playing that piano! Great music
The music was composed of several vintage artists through the RUclips music library. Thanks for watching!
How about that Lift-A-Car! I’d like one of those for my 1930 Roadster!
yes, but would you crawl under it?
That thing is crazy! Thanks for watching!

Mr Burt picks up his car @ 30:50 and the car rolls backwards??????
I know right ?!?!?! Thanks for watching!
My local Ford dealer doesn't know one end of my Model A from the other.
Neither does mine. Thanks for watching!
Why do they enter from the passenger side ?
Ford wanted driver and passenger to exit through the passenger side for safety. You could only lock and unlock the passenger door with a key. All other doors were locked and unlocked from the inside only.
I think Tom had to do all the work and on the inside he was not smiling
You just may be right! Thanks for watching!

The recommended top speed of 35 mph to break in the engine seems low to me. Those engines must have had poor tolerances. I drove around 150 miles home after buying my new car... all of it on a highway The burning smell from the rust preventer on the engine was terrible.
You can't look at it with 2024 eyes. Roads were much different then. Restriction you to 35 mph would be like restricting you to 70 now. The engines then also had poured babbitt bearings on the crankshaft that needed a break-in period
Not even close to the same motor. Babbit bearings instead of insert bearings plus little to know oil pressure compared to today's vehicle. Even in my 1930 Model A which has been modified with insert bearings, bigger valves, reground camshaft and a high compression head with a pressurized oil pump still only has 10 PSI.
@@kensmithgallery4432 Why weren't the babbitt bearings more precisely manufactured? Perhaps a cost savings for Ford at that time?
@SpockvsMcCoy possibly, but to be honest, I'm not completely sure. Inset bearings for the mains was seen in auto makers by the mid 30's and connecting rods came many years later, like the late 40's, so it could be technology too. Great question!
@@SpockvsMcCoy The Babbitt bearings were poured in place in the block and the rods. It was a casting process, you melted the Babbitt and poured it in. When I first started working as a mechanic in the back of the shop was a "running in stand" that had an electric motor to spin the crankshaft in the block. I really never saw it used much but I was told that it was mainly for "burnishing" the poured babbitt bearings. That was done not so much because they were not precision machined, but because the surface texture on a microscopic level was too rough and burnishing the bearings smoothed it out

Oh, Mr. Burt, don't forget to purchase a Boyce "Moto Meter" temperature radiator cap so you don't cook the engine of your handsome new Ford Automobile.
A must purchase too! Thanks for watching!
it's rumoured that Mr Burt is just about to make his final payment on the car
It is very possible! Thanks for watching!
We want a cheap simple 4 door with a trunk, Ford! WTF are you doing to America!
Thanks for watching!
his wife is using the car all the time, so he is using his secretary all the time.😁
Thanks for watching!
