Original Ford Model A: The Restorer's Guide Martin L. Hassel An excellent bookwell structured with accurate color plates. I would not suggest the book as a source for all restoration information, but it is truly a great supplement. As with any book trying to recapture history, there are some possible inaccuracies, but it was obviously painstakingly done and the photos represent a pretty good depiction of what the Model A was originally like when it rolled off the showroom floor. When we restore a car, we try to achieve a close approximation of original. An exampletry to find pyroxilyn (sp?) material.. Matthew Tague said Original Model A Ford. I have owned Model A Fords for the past Original Model A Ford I have owned Model A Fords for the past 30 years so the book sparked an obvious interest. I truely enjoy reading and re-reading this book. I enjoy sharing this book with my young son as the photography is magnificent. I have many technical manuals and "standards" guides that just don't do Henry Ford's "A" justice like this book does. Money well spent.. 0 years so the book sparked an obvious interest.

Joop Plaggenborg said Nice pictures but no help in restoring for judging. Nice addition to all what is out there but as stated before a lot of mistakes in accuracies.I have other books from Jim but this one was a little bit of a disappointment.
