Who Was Looking for a Cowl?

[Tom Wesenberg]

Just recently someone was looking for a good cowl, and this looks like a good buy if it's what they need.
The cowl band alone is pretty expensive.

you get a fuel tank to boot!

I think that is a 1929 cowl based on the firewall . I think the gas tank installs from inside the cowl?

[Mitch]

I believe your correct and it's listed as a 31

[Tom Wesenberg]

It has the 1930 twist style gas cap.
After looking closer, I do see the bottom right of the cowl is rusty.

In our club members cars, we have 2 cars that are definitely '29s and have the 10gal tank with the twist off gas cap. So I don't see the gas cap type as a good indication of year.

I never seen a fire wall like that one before.

[DaWizard]

Indeed George. I was wondering myself about the second seam.

[George Miller]

i just looked it up in my The Ford Model A book. It looks like a 1929 Cabriolet.

But it might be a 1930, that is what rear fenders are plus the gas cap. But it is not a 31 they had a slanted windshield. At least the one in our club does. Not sure what his fire wall looks like. We also have two 30ts. I have seen the fire wall on both of them. I do not remember them looking like that. But maybe I did not notice.

Yes, that is a 1929 Cabriolet cowl, not a 1930.
