Pursuit of Contentment - 1930 Model A Ford - S1 Ep15
Model A Mabel
Well spring has arrived; the heat is beginning and summer is near. While most of the Northern Hemisphere is pulling their Model A Fords out of their garages; well, here we begin to leave them inside more.
This season of Model A Mabel is ending and I plan on returning sometime in the fall when the air is cooler.
I am heading back down to my music studio to keep myself cool with the air-conditioning there.
Until then, enjoy Model A Fords.
Mabel and Jim
On December 4th, 2023, I purchased Model A Mabel from a fellow in San Juan Capistrano, California. 23 hours later it was delivered to my home in Tucson, Arizona. My older brother had accompanied me on this trip, and with the unexpected rapid transit response, we had to zip back fast to Phoenix to drop him off and then I shot straight down to Tucson to receive the vehicle.
Model A Mabel is a 1930 Model A Ford Tudor. It was in generally good shape and appeared to only need general maintenance.
This channel is intended to document my experience in owning a Model A Ford for the first time. It will be from the perspective of a non-mechanic background getting his feet wet - hopefully on the small stuff.
The audience for this channel is mainly for my family and friends. It is a way to relate my progress or de-progress of stepping into a new and uncomfortable zone. I am firm in thought that we all should challenge ourselves from time to time on something outside our comfort zone. Now, anyone is invited of course, and if more folks outside my family and friends watch these up and coming episodes; well, everyone is welcome to see the experience of a newbie in this hobby.

With 7 Episodes in 3 weeks, and the conclusion of Mabel’s restart problems, it is a time for a quick wrap-up. Here we recap the issues that were on hand, then showcase some viewer inputs that may help someone else in the same but slightly different situation. My videos are done with a touch of tongue-n-cheek; thus, for example, when I show battery charger cables as car jumper cables, it is all ...
