The Distributor February 2015 The Distributor February 2015 Director’s Chair February 2015 Our Awards Banquet was a nice outing this year handled by Vince and Karen Scalabrino and Larry and Nadeen Rust. Yearly awards for attendance, mileage, and positions held by members were given. Also, our yearly award for Mr. and Mrs. Model A was presented to Mark and Val Maron and Most Active member to Christine Rozny. Mike Kochevar records attendance for all events and helps to make the awarding of these special awards. Thank you to the entire membership for assisting me in 2014. The club is always trying to find new and fun events. This year we are trying to put together a group of cars for the World of Wheels Car Show in Rosemont on March 13-15. Assembling a small variety of our club member’s cars we hope to highlight our hobby from a restorer’s perspective. It will also be good publicity for the Illinois Region. Please contact Ken Ehrenhofer, Jim Stockinger, or Andy Stockinger if you might be interested. I am currently reading “Wheels for the World, Henry Ford, his company and a Century of Progress” written by Douglas Brinkley. It gives a history of Ford Motor Company from the buzzing at the turn of the century up to now. Obviously the chapters dealing with the Model A are the most interesting. A lengthy detail of the Model T history brings the reader up to 1926-1927 showing that competition from Chevrolet and even Plymouth really forced a stubborn Henry Ford to introduce a “new” car in late 1927. In May 1927 three big newspaper headlines read, “Henry and Edsel Ford drive the Fifteenth millionth Ford Model T out of the factory, Charles Lindbergh solos across the Atlantic, and Henry Ford announces he would discontinue the Model T.” Four wheel brakes, a gear shifting transmission, hydraulic shock absorbers, shatterproof safety glass, nine body styles and double the horsepower of the previous T engine were some of the many innovations the Model A came with. Sales took off despite the looming Depression. However one other new item that we seldom hear about but I believe was also a big contributor to the popularity of the Model A… installment financing by Ford for the buyers.

Awards Banquet 2014 (The Great Escape): Illinois Region Upcoming Events: Her Cover Photo – Bob Friskics Bob has been buying and selling Model A parts and other antiques since the '70's. He joined our club in 1989 with encouragement from Vince Scallabrino and Mike Podgorkski soon after ac- quiring his first AA truck to get some more information on the large trucks. Since then he has acquired enough original parts for two AA's and a pickup truck. Bob is a carpenter by trade and raised his garage door to 7' in order to accommodate his truck. The flatbed in the pictures was purchased for parts from Lou Stratka in 2004; it is the only run- ning Model A Bob owns and is believed to be a whiskey-hauling truck from Canada to Chicago in the '30's. The bullet hole in the windshield is reported to be from one of the bootleg runs; the driver ducked; no blood on the seat. Bob's working on the front axle; the engine and trans are rebuilt. Finding information on AA Trucks was hard at first. He would look at pictures of trucks with a magnifying glass and com- pare subtle differences. Most people in the club knew their Model A car parts but not the Big Iron parts, then Ken Keely sold Bob an original Parts Price List dating June 1, 1929. The price list has pictures of AA Truck parts and is very helpful. In 2007 Bob joined The Ford Model AA Truck Club, a lot more information is available on AA Trucks.

  • "Ford Model AA Oil Tanker Truck"
    "Ford Model AA Oil Tanker Truck" 1930 Ford Model AA 185A Platform Rated: 1-1/2 Ton Motor: 4 Cylinder, 201 CID, 40 HP 6 Volt Battery w/positive ground Brakes: Mechanical Tire Size: High Pressure 32-6 Transmission: 4 Speed Manual non synchronized Fuel Capacity: 11 Gal. Gasoline Truck Body: Briggs and Murray Cargo Body: Columbia Steel Tank Co. Steel Tank Capacity: 625 Gal. Features: Rear cantilever leaf springs Wheel Rims: Bud 5 hole Rear End Type: Single Axle, ring and pinion differential w/dual tires Wheel Base: 157" Service trucks were used for many purposes. This Tanker Truck had three separate internal tanks for different fuels. The most common fuel used was gasoline, kerosene, for lamps, and fuel oil for home furnaces. Each tank could be dispensed independently. All Model AA chassis had wood mounted on the chassis before any structure was added. The five hole steel wheels, produced by the Bud Wheel CO. were specifically designed to allow a dual wheel application without tires rubbing on each other. The differential used a ring and pinion rather than a worm gear used in the Model T. This allowed more speed for the vehicle. The transmission is a four speed manual type with reverse. The transmission was not synchronized and used a different gear ratio, than the Ford Model A standard, to allow more torque for moving heavy loads. Radiators for the Model AA trucks had four cores for cooling rather than the standard three core radiators, used on Model A automobiles. Donated by: Tim Kelley - New Canaan, CT In many cities and towns, oil products were delivered from the oil refineries by railroad.

  • Adenauer Holt Ford Nach Köln
    Auto-Medienportal.Net: 01.10.2020 Im Rückspiegel: Adenauer holt Ford nach Köln Er ließ es sich am 2. Oktober 1930 nicht nehmen: Firmengründer Henry Ford war nach Köln gereist, um gemeinsam mit dem damaligen Oberbürgermeister Konrad Adenauer im Stadtteil Niehl den Grundstein für die deutschen Ford-Werke zu legen. Die Stadt am Rhein hatte sich gegen Konkurrenten wie Magdeburg, Frankfurt am Main und Neuss bei der Ford Motor Company durchgesetzt. Bis heute haben über 17,5 Millionen Autos die Produktionshallen verlassen Bereits seit August 1925 hatte Ford in Deutschland Autos gebaut. In gemieteten Werkhallen am Berliner Westhafen setzten die ersten deutschen Mitarbeiter das legendäre T-Modell ("Tin Lizzie") aus vorgefertigten Teilen zusammen. Als Ford dann in Deutschland einen richtigen Produktionsstandort und eine deutsche Unternehmenszentrale aufbauen wollte, fiel die Wahl auf Köln. Oberbürgermeister Konrad Adenauer, der nach dem Krieg der erste Kanzler der Bundesrepublik wurde, hatte Henry Ford von den Standortvorteilen am Rhein überzeugt. Der Firmengründer gibt sich bei der offiziellen Grundsteinlegung vor 90 Jahren äußerst zuversichtlich: „Ich weiß, die Deutschen werden einen guten Job machen.“ Als erster Ford „made in Cologne“ lief am 4. Mai 1931 ein Lkw, ein Ford Model AA, vom Band. 619 Mitarbeiter produzieren auf 33.000 Quadratmetern Fabrikfläche 60 Fahrzeuge pro Tag, zunächst den Pkw Model A und den Ford AA. Zwei Jahre später, 1933, war das Angebot von Ford in Deutschland auf drei Pkw-Baureihen angewachsen: die Modelle B (Rheinland), Y (Köln) und der mondäne V8. Der Ford Eifel ersetzte 1935 den Y und wurde ebenfalls noch in den 1930er Jahren vom ersten Vertreter einer legendären Baureihe abgelöst – vom ersten Ford Taunus, dem so genannten „Buckel“-Taunus.

  • Too Much Ice Cream and Kite Chaos Leads to a Fat Lip for Jim
    Vol 47 Sept/ 15 Too much Ice Cream and Kite Chaos leads to a fat lip for Jim. Suzan weighs her over-Shellacked entry Tom busted Jon mows the lawn. The Hargraves’ saved Kayla awaits her by REPO MAN Launch Window. I knew it would be an interesting day from the get go. As we were ready to pull out of Macy’s lot, Bob & Raphael Hargrave discovered they had locked keys in their car. They called Triple A for a slim jim. But 3A didn’t show, so they flagged down an unmarked tow truck slowly cruising thru the parking lot. Turned out the tough guy driving was a REPO MAN looking for his victim, but saw their situation and decided to be a good samaritan for a moment. He popped the lock in one swift move. No charge. Walter Andersen’s ’34 wouldn’t start. He instructed his 3 young passengers to hop out and push so he could pop the clutch and join the convoy. As usual Tour Director Jim Thomas was just being helpful when he threw Joey’s kite into the wind. But it dive bombed him right in the lip. What about Rick Storr’s aborted launch? The kite did a death dive, on its way to a crash landing, wrapping its string around Rick’s ankles. Rick was tripped up and sat on the kite. My Kite set a new low altitude record for staying just high enough to trim the grass most of the day. Suzan Valentino had layered a few too many coats of shellack on hers.

    1 TIME LINE OF PARTS ORIGINAL FORD DATA As of October 12, 2006 The following is a timeline of the Model A /AA Ford Transmission main shaft bearing retainer, A- 7085, and the Universal joint housing cap—outer, A-4520, and inner, A-4513 assemblies. The data follows the engineering release dates as Ford made improvements to the parts in the engineering department. It also follows other Ford data as the Ford Service Bulletins, Ford Service Letters and Parts Price Lists. Just when the new parts and/or assemblies ended up in the actual production assembly line of the Model A and AA is unknown and was dependent on several factors. Where the designation of “Note:” is or statements in parenthesis, are my thoughts about the part or assembly. Equal spaced and unequal spaced refer to the spacing of the six (6) attachment bolt holes in each assembly. Thin flanged ( ¼ inch ) and thick flanged ( 5/16 inch) refer to the thickness of the six (6) bolt hole flanges on the Transmission main shaft bearing retainer, A-7085 only. September 29, 1927 Release # 3062 A-7085: Transmission main shaft bearing retainer (Forging) (equal spaced and thin flanged) Changed diameter of holes from 11/32 to 25/64 and moved boss for oiler around 60 deg. Specified all chassis instead of A chassis only. (Go to November 10, 1927) Note: Not sure if this is referring to the change of location of the grease zerk between A-7085 (A- 7085-A) and A-7085-B which occurred in mid-November, 1927 when the part went from being equal spaced mounting holes to unequal spaced mounting holes.
