What is a "Slant Window Sedan" Ford Model A?? 

That's excellent!!!

I'm sorry, I don't think I have seen it. But you never know.

That will be a big job! Good luck, my brother!!

Great!

Awesome. Thank you Richard!!

Yea. That car has been on SO many club tours, I lost count. If I had room, and didn't already have a slant window sedan, I would have bought it.

Thanks Chuck. Good luck!

Yep!!

Mike's A-Fordable used to sell those. Maybe they still do?

Thank you! Hey, I was a lot younger than you when I fell for the Model A. There's no age limits

@@ModelA I just love a simple and reliable machine. Whether a tractor or a truck.

Grew up in 160A that dad converted to an 160B. It was first car I drove. It replaced his 30 coupe. Dad later swapped the 160a for a 28 Whippet once we were old enough to ride in rumble seat. Good ride for family of 5.

Thanks for sharing

Nice. Thanks!

Excellent!! You've got this!

And being the may-fka membership chair?

Hhaa! mine too

Interesting!

Thank you! Sounds like a fun car!

Can you please advise the colours, as I have a 160B in an identical colours scheme but wish to establish what are the correct colours. Thanks

Wow, thank you!

Morning!

Understood!! Me too.

Thanks!

@@ModelA Hey Paul, I think you are more on the spot on the mid-31 introduction date for the Slant Window. The Slant Windows came out for sale in May of 1931 and were only produced for about 7 months. It was the first all-steel structure fordor for Ford and it was produced with all interchangeable parts between Ford, Murray and Briggs. Wood was only used for the top and for mounting interior parts. If one's engine number is a Feb 1931 assembly date, per the RG&JS the vehicle assembly date could be as much as 4 months later making the May date for introduction for the Slant Window. The assembly date for a vehicle may be as long as three months after the date the engine was produced (four months in 1931).

More of a greenish tan. Interesting colors. Very pretty when done properly.

Nice! Pictures??

@@ModelA don't know how to add pictures on here lol

Happy new year!

Awesome!

@@ModelA Ironically... Friday when I was driving home from work two dumba§şes were racing or road-raging. One guy darted from the fast lane to the slow lane where I was cruising my Comanche. I saw it coming so I slowed. Dumbskull lost it and he spun 90 degrees maybe 10 feet in front of me until he slid off the road. When he hit the dirt he kicked up a cloud of debris that I went through. 30 minutes later when I got home and parked..... my radiator was hissing. I've been sick this weekend, but I'll have to swap that radiator maybe today or tomorrow and I was thinking of adding a metal mesh grill and or screen behind my plastic oem grill. I still have rocks and sticks in my grill. 😠

@@xmo552 Oh man.. That sucks!

@@ModelA Almost done. Was there ever a slant window coupe, 3 window, or roadster from the factory?

400A is coming soon!

I'll add that to the list

@@ModelA Thanks, Paul.

I plan to spotlight every common body style at some point. But not all in one video. that would be nearly impossible

Ha! Maybe after I retire from engineering.

Glad you like it!

Thanks!!

Whoever sells paint to the body shops. Lacquer isn't available in every state. Luckily, where I live, it is still available.

One of these days... I hope to do one soon

Thanks! 69 Dart?? Be kinda cool to have it now though

Haa! It is!! Thanks

Old man's car? I think it looks Deluxe.

I agree with you 100 % on the Deluxe part. One of my favorite videos is the one with Tina riding around in the rumble seat laughing the whole time. All model A'ers should try that at least once.

@@madman-pv9qd Hahaha! Good reply! I couldn't wrap my mind around your saying that it looks like an old man's car. And I thought, how old is this guy? I read on and found out that you're only 70. I thought maybe you were my dad's age, early '90s. But being a tad older than me, I guess you meant "like an old mans car" compared to a '70-'72 Cuda or the like. The rumble seat video I recall was the Christmas Lights Drive and Tina was having fun being camerawoman from the rumble seat. I enjoyed watching she and Paul having fun. My grandmother was born in 1900. When I was a kid, I mentioned to her that I thought rumble seats were cool. And she told me that they were dangerous. Of course, I asked why? And she went on, that years ago, she had a friend that was riding in a rumble seat and died. Apparently, the driver had hit something ahead and my grandmother said that her friend "broke her chest" on the metal that's forward of where one sits. And that, no one else in the car was injured much. When I got older and came across photos of rumble seats, I saw how someone could die from a forward collision. So rumble seats got ruined for me for all time. And when I saw Model T-ina riding in it, fun as it was, I was concerned. Jeez, I didn't mean to be a party pooper, I started out all happy. I love the car in the video. That owner seems to have brought that car to perfection. And yes, I agree with you that the colors are to love. My favorite "A" has been the Tudor but after listening to Paul on this car and seeing it, I'm rethinking the Tudor. Wishing you a happy prosperous new year, Mad Man.

Hahhaaa! Yep!

Thank you! 😊

Glad you enjoyed it!

That would have been funny! Dang, missed opportunity. Yea, for a man of girth, a tudor is good. A 30/31 coupe also.

Thank YOU, Richard!!!

Ford calls it "tudor". That is correct

@@ModelA ok thanks!

@@ModelA No doubt Henry liked the "royalty" of the name Tudor 😉

@@amicidavinci Yep. Quirky guy. I think by today's standards, Henry Ford would be on the autism spectrum.

@@ModelA Many geniuses are, and Ford was a genius.

I don't have the exact numbers, but the 160C is aorta rare. But I sure see a lot of them. My email appears in some videos. But be warned, I get between 100 and 300 emails a DAY. I cannot possibly see all of them.

OK, I did it for this video. Is it working?

YES!! Thank you!

I believe the smaller engine for European Fords was the main difference. RHD also for some.

That's copra drab over chicle drab

Excellent! You need the red book. Here's a link- www.mafca.com/cart/index.php?productID=166

That's Copra Drab over Chichle Drab. you can find the paint chips and codes in the MAFCA paint guide book.

I think fairly well. I'm not a fan of the 12v conversion or the wheels, but it drives everywhere.

@@ModelA I am going to give it serious consideration. Thanks for your opinion.

The non-slant fordors are made of wood. The slant window is all metal (structurally)

@@ModelA That's the difference, thank you so much for clarifying that. Quite a difference!

Hahahaaa!! Thanks for settin me straight!

The owner

It is Copra and Chickle. Good job!

@@ModelA 😅 ahaha thank you ♥

I hear that a lot. Some carbs just don't atomize the fuel as efficiently as others. Clean out the passages and the jets and it just gently hisses after that, and fuel economy goes up too.

@@ModelA I'll give it a try! I have noticed the fuel economy seems pretty low I've never actually measured it but that makes sense. Thank you! I enjoy your videos its helped alot im only 25 but I really enjoy these old cars!

25 and already a rock star of old cars. Well done, my man!

@@ModelA thanks I caught the bug from my grandfather. We still go together to car shows they are his cars if you see my one shifting model a video that I made I was inspired by your video to try it out and I really prefer that method of upshifting! My grandfather was impressed too!

Depends... is the MDX stuffed with thousand of $$ in cash?

Yes/ Asking price

I don't know

@@ModelA Thanks, I was just curious... Love your channel!

$20-$25K I think they are asking less than that.

Private transaction

Yes. Asking price.

Around the MAFCA folks, it's "slant window". But, technically, you're right.

It's a fairly rare Ford-made Model A hop-up part.

@@ModelA thank you

All Model As are as aerodynamic as a tool cabinet. The SW is slightly better.

Buckminster Fuller claimed that a Model A Ford is more aerodynamic running backwards than forwards. He then built a huge teardrop-shaped car powered by a Ford engine in the rear but powering the front wheels. The single rear wheel steered via steel cables. This unsound rear steering design was treacherous as a little too much steering lock would skew the car sideways as it attempted to turn 180 degrees in its own length. Three were built before Fuller went on to other radical futuristic projects. Look up Dymaxion Automobile for more.

Sorry, no

Thanks for the tip. It's a tip of the hat to a very close Model A friend of mine who passed away a couple years ago unexpectedly. A few days before he passed, he watched some of my videos and sent me an email that simply said "You are the boomerest car channel on RU-vid". That is the very last thing he ever said to me. I loved him so much. So, it's just an inside joke between me and my dear friend of so many years, whom I spent so much time with, and so many great memories. I hope you can tolerate it.

Hi Paul, My first car is a slant window briggs. It is a 160A . I was told that they are rare. Most have been converted to the deluxe 160B. Another difference between the 160A and B are the interior door handles. The 160A had unique handles not the same as the 160B. It took me over 30 years to find my handles.

@@ModelA Not to mention that, if your RU-vid demographic breakdown looks anything like mine, it's the literal truth.

Really?

I know, right??!!!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you Richard!!! Wow, you are so kind!
