I forgot in my previous post. I also had a Model A for a while. It was a 1929 two door sedan, green, all original except for paint. Like all Model A, it had a flathead 4 cyl engine with 4.0:1 compression, mechanical brakes (that means rods and levers, no hydraulics) and the only passenger compartment heat was supplied by a homemade tin tube surrounding the exhaust manifold that led into the floorboard. The term floorboard was literal; they were wood. The (6V) battery lived under the driver's side floorboard. There were two levers on the steering column just below the wheel: Spark advance and throttle. There was a combination choke and mixture control poking up in front of the passenger at the bottom of the dashboard. The fuel filler cap was in the center of the cowl just in front of the windshield, as the dashboard and cowl was the gas tank. This allowed reliable gravity feed to the carburetor, which was an improvement over the Model T with the gas tank under the driver's seat which was downhill from the carb if you were going up a steep hill.
Cars have com a looooong way.
