That was great. I liked the horn too. It looked really uncomfortable to crawl out of LOL. I recently filmed a 1931 Ford Model A owned by Terry and Kathy OBryant at Black Bear car show in Chatsworth GA
When I saw the Pennsylvania license plate I immediately thought that car must have a dented firewall with the gas valve under the hood instead of in the cab, and it does! 😂😂
I would honestly like to know who can't drive a Model A. They're just as simple as any other car. Unless you don't know how to drive stick. EDIT; I dare you to attempt to drive a Model T. Hehehe
The_Guy Ha! If we could get our hands on a Model T, we'd definitely try, The_Guy! Our title was more of a play on words, not solely meaning many are not capable of driving a Model A, but that many do not have the opportunity to drive one. Where the challenge does present itself, however, is in starting the Model A. Those who are used to modern manual transmission cars would have a very difficult time knowing where to begin. We appreciate your comments and thanks for watching!
I'd let ya use my grandpa's 1915 T all original, license tag, paint, int, top, ect but it's been in the barn for a while and I don't really want to mess with it.
The_Guy We hear ya. That was the case with this Model A. It hadn't been started in over a year so we weren't sure what was going to happen. Thankfully, these old Fords are based on very simple tech with only minor things that can go wrong in a typical scenario. Thanks for thinking of us on the Model T loan, though.
for me, it sure would take a little bit of time to get used to it tho...I've never driven anything that old ,so i cant claim on how would it be.but Hoping to drive something like that in the future. and thanks for the video awesome video.
Those cars also need to be started an driven at least once a week. the oil drains back into the pan and those cars tend to wear out bearings rather quickly.
+Jim Schrom Thank you for your comments, Jim Schrom, and we hope delivery of your '30 Model A went well. We aren't sure what the exact color name is of the car in our video. However, if we find out we will post back on here for you. Thanks for watching!
Nice Late 1931 Ford Tudor (as is mine)... Also, do the car a favor, try to drive it a few times a month... Keeping the parts moving will do wonders... Also, it's best to not turn the wheel of any car unless the car is in motion....
+Michael S. Howard Thank you for the comments, Michael S. Howard. We agree, this is a nice example of a '31 Model A and that the car should be driven a little more often, but until the owner gives us his keys, we have to relive the experience through this video with everyone else. LOL And note taken on how to drive without power steering. Thanks for watching!
You will know more about driving them than most people, the model T and a were different to most other cars with your accelerator in the middle and the way you select gears, probably not too hard once you get used to it, and learn on a quiet road!
Please remember: by taking the next gear, wait a little time between. There is no synchro in this car. If you do not, you hear this crunch. Thats not good for the transmission 👍😊
to me this old car is the most beautiful of all of the fords,alot of people go lala over the 32,but this roofline is the it,if it were mine I'd pull the whole engine and trans and frame out and go modern 500 horse and 4 wheel discs and put the original in the corner of the shop for people who want to know what stock looks like,damn fine ride,FORD
This “driver “ is obviously a young guy who has little experience with cars not equipped with power steering. Hint: Get the car moving before attempting to turn the wheel. Easier on your arm muscles and the tires will thank you,!
Terry Smith We're sorry about that, Terry Smith. It was a last minute opportunity and unfortunately the audio in the car did not come out as we had hoped. We appreciate you watching, however.
True. Our title was kind of a play on words where most people won't have the opportunity to drive one. But no biggie. We appreciate your comments, Keith Gaines. Thanks for watching!
Out of all of the vehicles I've bought and sold I regret deeply selling my 1930 model A 5 window and I can't for the life of me don't know why you all think its so hard to drive oh that's right it's got a manual transmission
...A Helluva lot easier to drive than a modern vehicle, with all the Nanny/Nag crap pestering you, complicated screens/cameras/electronic crap, can't see out of them, etc......at least you control the Model A, it doesn't control you......
If you think $10-20,000 is expensive, because that’s about what a nice Model A will cost and restorable projects are much less. Also much more than a toy these are actually really good at being cars.
Ooh a '31 Tudor, my favorite kind of model a, absolutely beautiful.
It was one of my first cars. Bought it in 1955 great car.
Very cool, vern eklund. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Good looking car.
Thanks for watching, Darron Iverson!

A very fun video. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks guys! I enjoyed this.
When I saw the Pennsylvania license plate I immediately thought that car must have a dented firewall with the gas valve under the hood instead of in the cab, and it does! 😂😂
Absolutely beautiful!
We agree, ChromeDove. Thanks for watching!
such a classy car. Designed to be the "every person car", turned into a American icon!
That is a very beautiful car. I have a 31 just not as nice as that one but it is getting there.
Thank you, Thomas Aschenberg. It is a nice looking car, especially for its age. Thanks for watching!
That's my dream car

The_Guy I haven't seen a 2017 car having adjustments for spark an throttle 😂
Those cars also need to be started an driven at least once a week. the oil drains back into the pan and those cars tend to wear out bearings rather quickly.
Just goin to pick some groceries up Andy... (that what Aunt Bee said!) Heh Heh!!!
LOL Thanks for watching!
Very nice car. I have a 1930 Coupe and not many people know not to advance the timing directly after starting
*know to
Thank you for your comments, Gabe Gochenour. We appreciate hearing from people like you who know a thing or two about these cars. Thanks for watching!
Nice Model A! Is that paint color Kewanee green / Elkpoint green? I am picking up mine tomorrow. It's a 1930. Can't wait!
+Jim Schrom Thank you for your comments, Jim Schrom, and we hope delivery of your '30 Model A went well. We aren't sure what the exact color name is of the car in our video. However, if we find out we will post back on here for you. Thanks for watching!

Cool car!
+Tom Allen Yeah, a cool car and a cool experience, too. Thanks for watching, Tom Allen!
Love it!

mmm i was thinking that when he did that ..re the steering
I should know something about them. I've owned mine since 1964.
+Jim Ervin Very nice, Jim Ervin. Again, we appreciate you watching!

Thank you for sharing, strattuner. We appreciate your comments!
strattuner
I think part of the charm of this is the powertrain.
IMO if I were to engine swap I would do a modern 4cyl, more than enough.
glad u butchers dont own it...keep to your modern meathead vehicle!
This “driver “ is obviously a young guy who has little experience with cars not equipped with power steering. Hint:

The horn is comical!
Sure is, DEDICATED GREATER MANCHESTER FRIEND FOR LIFE! Thanks for watching!
Love it
Don't turn the wheel when sitting still. I figured that would be kind of obvious.
Edit: I noticed you managed to grind the gears with every shift too.
Nobody cares
wish I could have heard what uou were saying.
Terry Smith We're sorry about that, Terry Smith. It was a last minute opportunity and unfortunately the audio in the car did not come out as we had hoped. We appreciate you watching, however.
Gotta double clutch that thing haha
You're correct! LOL Thanks for watching, Joshua Wallace!
You got to drive it more often. Enjoy it.
We'll have to see if we can get an opportunity to drive it again this summer, David Hinson. Thanks for watching!
how much it costs? something about $50.000
A decent driver is around $10,000 (Tudor body style like the one in this video). These are an affordable, fun cars
I think most people can drive a A. The T is way different than a normal car..
True. Our title was kind of a play on words where most people won't have the opportunity to drive one. But no biggie. We appreciate your comments, Keith Gaines. Thanks for watching!
Dad is Cute !
Out of all of the vehicles I've bought and sold I regret deeply selling my 1930 model A 5 window and I can't for the life of me don't know why you all think its so hard to drive oh that's right it's got a manual transmission
Not many can swim or ride a bicycle but we did?
8:20 Expectation
8:24 Reality
Hilarious
True, That Record. 😁 Thanks for watching!
Drive it twice a week and it'll last longer and run better.
Seventy mph in an A? Must’ve had an overdrive put in it
My Crown vic I could steer with my pinky finger!!!
We're sure you could, stvynix. That's one this you can't do in this car. Chris almost needed 3 hands. LOL
***** How funny!!! I bet. Power steering... what a great invention! :-) Beautiful car there!
***** We'll be sure to let the owner know. Thanks again for watching!
You will drive it more often if the grid goes out.
this video has sound problems
...A Helluva lot easier to drive than a modern vehicle, with all the Nanny/Nag crap pestering you, complicated screens/cameras/electronic crap, can't see out of them, etc......at least you control the Model A, it doesn't control you......
Ha! We hear ya, dyer2cycle. Thanks for watching!
Use the hand crank for crying out loud!
If you like having good knuckles and unbroken fingers you will either learn how to use a hand crank very well the hard way or not use it at all. :P
mmmm.maybee you can eat rocks too idiot....lol..like they did in the olden days
expensive toys
what a stupid pointless comment.does it reflect your character...lol...ie pointless and stupid..bet your kids left home early killjoy!
If you think $10-20,000 is expensive, because that’s about what a nice Model A will cost and restorable projects are much less. Also much more than a toy these are actually really good at being cars.
