I bought this as a present for my brother. He is in the process of restoring a 1932 and he said this book helped him a lot.

This is a "nuts and bolts" manual designed for "hands-on" restorers...romance novel, comic book and bathroom coffee table book readers need not apply. I personally restored and assembled an early 1928 Model A Phaeton using this book as my primary reference source combined with the Model A Judging Standards and Ford Service Bulletins. My car wouldn't be together without the extremely accurate instructions, plentiful illustrations and references. This is, by far, the best reference manual available on the Ford Model A, hands down!!! This book is from a fellow who has obviously restored quite a few cars and knows what he's talking about. One strives for accuracy but as time elapses, more is forgotten so you use multiple sources and cross reference. This book, however, is the definitive basis for all others...start here, you won't be disappointed with this essential "tool" for restoring your Model A. Torque specs, tool info., lubrication information, helpful hints abound in this step-by-step book. A must buy for the restorer!!! Truly magnificent!

This book was purchased a couple of years ago in the hope it would give me some help and insight into the world of the Ford Model A and how to "bring it back". I thought it was poorly and amateurishly written then and after looking at it again last night, think it is even worse than that!! If you are working on an early 1928 car it may have some use. The engine info is generalized and body information is worse - much is absolutely incorrect. In summation, THERE ARE A LOT BETTER SOURCES OF INFORMATION ON THIS VERY POPULAR AUTOMOBILE
