Good question Tom. Since they both appear to be made of stones, I would speculate the large one a pump house for a well, and the small one an incinerator, with that steel door.
Mitch, what looks like a light on the windshield frame, looks more like a large can for a gas cap, and that license is clamped between the two pieces of the clamps. Also has 4.75-19 Allstate tires front and rear.
I now know who they modeled Howdy Doody after, that poor girl in the rear door window.
Did the early '30 Deluxe Town Sedan have jump seats? They have at least 7 people in that car.
Don't know where that girl in the backseat had been maybe changed a flat along the way because her hand looks dirty. notice the wild girls hanging out the windows and the boys hiding behind them. I wouldn't think those Allstates held up very long with the rocks on that road.
Seeing these pictures of Model A's taken in the mid-late '30's and 40's, amazes me at the rough treatment that they had and were still plodding along! Most people beat the snot out of these cars. Also why it is hard to find a GOOD pre-War truck or pickup they had to have gone thru pure hell along the way.
Most other makes were already toast by then they didn't hold up.
In 1940, Chief worked at a BIG Magnesium Foundry in Henderson, Nev, near Vegas. Couldn't find a car to buy, for LOVE or MONEY! Rode the Pony Express, semi-bus, to Vegas for shopping. FINALLY found a BEAUTIFUL, all BLACK, '36 Plymouth 4 Door & drove that DUDE for years! Later, sold it to Twin Brothers, "FUZZ" & ARNOLD, in Oklahoma & they used it for a TAXI, for years.

That car has been through a lot for only 10 years old. The fender has a poor repair on a large crack, no gas cap, dents, and it's already has a repaint.

Look at MAFCAs' PIC OF THE WEEK.
How many times we've seen this? A Business Man makes a BIG LOAN, rents an Old Warehouse, paints it, hangs up FANCY Lights & pics & certificates, cordons off an IMPRESSIVE "Office" area & "I'm a Car Dealer, now"!!

I have seen a pic in the past of the 1929 KRW cabinet with all of the tools inside. I thought I had that pic saved on my computer. Now it does not seem to be there and can not find it on any search engine. Does anyone have that pic that they could post? Thanks Rod
I posted two or three months ago that I had a problem with the quail cap on the radiator of our '28 coupe. I thought I had it fixed but not so. I suppose I will order a replacement. My big fear is that the neck will twist off of the radiator when I try to remove the present cap. Any suggestions?
this car was in the show room of a local ford dealership and the sales lady claimed it was showing off all available accessories that were available back in the day. Of special interest was the radiator cap as I’ve never seen this style before.

I want to install a motormeter in a repro 1930/31 cap. Does anyone sell the inner cap parts necessary to do the rebuild? Anyone offer this service? Suggestions?
I don't want the locking cap. Thanks! Loubob...
I have been discussing an issue with Snyders and Brattons over the last couple of weeks, and thought I would bring you guys in on the conversation.
After looking at why so many Model A's have poor headlight connections where the conduit connection is able to move about, rather than having a really good fix, I looked past the numerous discussions regarding the three contacts being too...
I have a spare engine that I thought I would disassemble and try to get running. It appears to be in very good shape with pistons .080 over and valves in good shape. My concern came when I looked at the rear main cap. It has a shorter flange for the bolts holding it on and as a result needed 5/8" spacers(larger nuts) put in to fill the gap to get the castle nut high enough to engage the cotter...
