The Right Hand Drive Ford
Model 'A'.
A very informative full color, A/5, 44 glossy page publication full of pictures, explaining in full the differences between the left and right hand drive Model ‘A’ Fords produced between 1928 to 1931. It shows the considerable differences between the USA assembled cars and the Canadian assembled cars. It also shows, body and engine numbering sequences, Canadian Robertson square drive screws used extensively on the Canadian Model ‘A’s, instruments and controls, body numbering sequences where the prefix designated the body style, Patent Data plates which were attached to the firewall on the 1928 cars only, period advertising, production figures for twenty two countries where partially built up bodies were exported from Canada to foreign assembly plants, such as New Zealand, South Africa and Australia.
The book also gives information on the “Early Cars” which were the very first Model ‘A’s produced, which were in many ways very different to the later produced cars. The appearance was the similar, but many parts did not satisfactorily interchange.
Tools supplied with each vehicle are covered. There is a page of helpful information, a page on Model ‘A’ specifications. A RHD lubrication chart and a RHD wiring chart. There is a page of mechanical specifications which is very handy to the mechanically minded.
