Thanks Larry, appreciate your viewership and you taking the time to comment.

@@deanjernstrom3760 Hello Dean, yes we are blessed to have so much natural beauty around us. No better way to explore it than at 45 mph in a Model A. Appreciate your continuing viewership. Thank you for the support. Jim & Lindy

@@ModelYFord Hello, greatly appreciated you being in the passenger seat. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Jim & Lindy

@@mlanzante Hello, thank you for your nice comment. Greatly appreciate your feedback and viewership. Jim & Lindy

Hello Dave, I use the 600 weight oil from Snyder's, the real stuff not the 90 weight gear oil some vender's try to pass off. The key to downshifting is to give the accelerator a quick pop just as you shift, that'll spin the gears and equalize the speed. works for both 1st and 2nd downshifts. Thanks for watching and commenting, appreciate it. Jim & Lindy.

@@modelajim1930 Thanks for the insight, I've got the 3rd to 2nd down pretty good,.....I'm now looking forward to getting the 2nd to 1st dialed in. Looking forward to more of your adventures

@@edselsadventures bummer! Never like a tow truck, BUT sometimes they’re a guys best friend. Hope it’s nothing serious. Thanks for watching and your comment

@@modelajim1930 Lower rad hose slipped off the radiator and I overheated very quickly. Changed oil, filled the coolant and retorqued the head when it cooled down at home and we're back in business. Hard to kill these ol gals!

@@edselsadventures A few years back I blew a head gasket and had to change it out in a Walmart parking lot at near midnight. Got home from that trip at 5:00am. All’s well that ends well. Keep driving them!

Hi David, Thanks again for taking the time to comment on our video's, greatly appreciate it.

@@davidbreeding9287 Hello David. Appreciate you coming along for the ride once again. Always have room in the passenger seat. Jim & Lindy

@@stephendurvin7372 Hello Stephen. Yes the other 1% certainly live a bit differently. But I bet they don’t have appreciation for the simple things like 94 year old cars. I’ll take the vintage cars! Appreciate your watching and commenting.

@@jeffgrier8488 Hello Jeff, Thank you for your viewership and comment, appreciate you coming along for the ride. Jim & Lindy

@@festerhairball6588 Hello Hairball, appreciate you once again coming along for the ride. Greatly appreciate the continued viewership. I’ve had an exhaust whistle since the very first time I drove a Model A, so the two go hand in hand. The wife is not a fan. But in a tunnel is a must 🤣

@@MartinSBrown-tp9ji Hello Martin, and thank you for the feedback. I purchased a new microphone and I’m still trying to dial it in. Trying to nail down the audio work has been one of my nemesis’s. Thank you watching and reading the video.

@@calsurflance5598 Hello, yes it’s a beautiful place, we used to live in South Lake Tahoe before moving to Reno. Had probably the most scenic commute to work anywhere. Don’t miss shoveling the snow, but sure miss the scenery. Thanks for coming along for the ride, we greatly appreciate it. Jim & Lindy

@@ezedace9329 thanks Eze!

@@colleenmiller8018 Hello Colleen, thank you for your viewership. Appreciate you coming along for the ride. Jim & Lindy

@@NormFaith-k4p Hey Guys!! Sure enjoyed having you as tour buddy to Canada. More fun going with great friends. Miss you guys!❤️❤️

@@modelajim1930 miss you also

@@user-kv1du7xu4f Thank you for coming along, and for your comment. Greatly appreciate it.

@@andyweixler662 Hello Andy, thank you for watching, we have fun doing the video work as long as people enjoy watching.

@@Jyock Hello, if you’re building it yourself, you have the flexibility to spend as much or as little as you wish. If you’re looking to purchase one, the range is pretty wide depending on size, features, and finish. But just ballpark $6000 on the low end and $12,000-$15000 on the upper end. If you intend to use a model A, weight is your most important consideration. 800 pounds should be your maximum. Stopping it is more of the issue than pulling it.

@@modelajim1930 what do you think about installing trailer breaks. I'm still debating if I'm going to install blinkers. Want to install the Mitchell overdrive I just need to convince my wife it's a good idea. Will help with the hills. In the future I want to do an extended trip. Thanks for the response and enjoy your videos.

Hello Peter, Yes it would be a fun ride on a motorcycle, just watch out for those deadman curves. Thank you for your viewership and comment.

@@johnfortes2171 Hello John, it’s a beautiful area, I too live in an extremely small river village as a young kid (population 25), it was a great place to grow up during the early 1970’s. Swam the river all summer and ate blackberries all fall. Thanks for watching and for your comment. Jim & Lindy.

@@jeffgrier8488 Thanks Jeff, appreciate you coming along for the ride again. We had a great time and the charity had an extremely successful night. Glad we could help them out. Jim & Lindy

@@davewilson5997 Hello Dave, My cars are 90% stock, only modification are: I’ve added the right side tail light and put turn signals in them, in the back and have them in the cowl lights in the front. This is a safety necessity in today’s traffic. I run 12 volts instead of 6 volts, (alternater) only because I drive on the open road a lot, and you can’t get 6 volts parts on the road. This has saved me a couple times over the years. On our recent trip to Colorado I had to replace the battery. I have high compression heads on the cars to gain about 5 extra horsepower. And seatbelts. And of course they have a few cosmetic era accessories. A well restored car can be very reliable transportation. If you go through everything and get it back to original condition you’ll have a car that will take you anywhere you want to go for decades. Thank you for your viewership and comment. Greatly appreciate it. Jim & Lindy

@@markwassman2265 Thank you Mark, appreciate the feedback and glad you enjoyed the video. We had a good time at the event and made it home before dark which was my concern. Didn’t want to be in that busy freeway at night. Thanks for watching.

@@karayowell9777 Yes the costumes were really top notch, and beautiful. But for the privacy of the guest they asked us not to video anyone, which of course we respect.

@@dawnlangston1222 He was checking on us as we were pulled over on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. But he did like the car too.

@@dawnlangston1222 yes the guests certainly looked the part.

@@edselsadventures Yes, beautiful facility for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@shaunarobinson4816 Thank you Shauna, appreciate the viewership and comments. Gotta get the right headlight dialed in, it flickers on and off. Loose connection.

Cal, remember this was a charity auction event, the booze was free (pre-paid) and flowing to loosen the wallets, haha!

@@Kybossls Thanks KYBossls!

@@evalsgpar6840 so glad you enjoyed the video. Greatly appreciate your viewership and comment.

@@jeffgrier8488 Hello Jeff, Thanks for being in the passenger seat, always room for adventure seekers. Glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate your comments.

@@bobfidguello7239 Hello Bob, the interstates are a mixed bag, on the one hand you’re not holding anymore up, but when they have such a high speed limit, It only takes one driver flying up the road not paying attention. We have the flasher on and spend the entire time looking in the rear view mirror. We don’t get in a freeway unless forced to. Be safe out there doing the long hauls. Appreciate your comment and feedback.

@@edselsadventures thank you for your feedback and comment. Appreciate you coming along for the ride!

@@deanjernstrom3760 Dean, yes there is so much to see in North America. It’s a shame more people don’t get a chance to get away and enjoy it. We’ve been blessed to be able to see it in a unique way. You see more at 45 mph 🤪. Thank you for your comment.

@@stevejackson7458 Hello Steve. So glad you enjoyed the video, appreciate the feedback, and you coming along for the ride.

@@calsurflance5598 If you’ve never been to Zion, there is an entire another canyon (most feel more beautiful) that you have to take a shuttle to get into. My advice is to arrive as early as possible in the heavy tourist season, to avoid having to wait in long lines. (Like 7:00am) We needn’t do that canyon on this trip as we had done it a few months ago prior with friends and just didn’t have time this go around.

@@modelajim1930 Appreciate the tip!👌

Our pleasure!

One of these trips you'll have to "actually" come along for the ride. Jen!

@@JenniferJohnsen-jf6hj she’s getting better, but still very camera shy.

Hello again Hairball, I was so disappointed I didn't catch the "Big Boy", I learned about it the following morning. I love old trains and had my young nephew in town at the time. Would have loved seeing it come through. I guess originally it was suppose to stop in Sparks, NV for a few hours, but because it was delayed in Roseville, they cancelled the Sparks stop and it just rolled through slowly. Missed opportunity for sure. Thanks for your comment as always. JIm & Lindy.

Glad you like them!

Hello Jennifer, thanks for watching and commenting on the video's. We still need to get together soon.

@@stephendurvin7372 Hello Stephen, took 4 days to get from Durango to Reno, and each day was between 200-275 miles.

@@ChadBle yes, embarrassing error that I caught while editing the video. Oops😩.

@@twagn I was 17 years old (1982) when I saw my first Model A. I had been wood cutting with my father all day. He had to stop on our way home to talk business with an old couple. While the men talked shop, the old lady said, let me show you my old car. We walked around her house and in the backyard was 1928 sport coupe, her mother was the original owner. I instantly fell in love with it. She wanted to sell it because they were both in their 90’s. I begged my father to help me buy it, but he was not into cars, and said, “why would you want an old car like that. It would breakdown every time you wanted to go somewhere.” Unfortunately,I didn’t get the 1928 sport coupe, but about 5 months later I was able to get a 1930 standard coupe. I still have the car today. (Needs restoration). Thank you for watching and commenting. Appreciate it very much. Jim & Lindy

@@lightninrodpbn very good point. Never thought about that. In 2018 came very close to losing this car because I left it in neutral and the parking brake didn’t hold. Car was rolling down the road. Wife chased it down and got it stopped. A miracle!
