1931 Ford Model A Sport Coupe- Double clutching & Drive

[ATSF1927]

I sure remember these Model-As when I was a boy during the 1930s, I learned how to float shift them. Excellent memory of a great old car.

i thought the accelerator peddle was in the middel on these cars?

That's a cool car. Looks like an MA inspection sticker. Here in VA, antiques don't have to be inspected if you have antique plates on it.

yes lift your foot off the gas. It's real easy to do

[KingLeonidas013]

Did you lift your foot off the gas at all? How hard was it to learn how to do this? Awesome driving by the way.

Nicely done on the shifts. Most modern 'boxes are constant-mesh (e.g., ZF, Tremec, New Process, Muncie/GM, even the synchro-less Jerico), but sliding gears were the norm for 1940's and sooner vehicles such as the 3-speed "crashbox" this car.
