The Right hand Drive Ford Model 'A'.
“The Right Hand Drive Ford Model 'A',” book. By Les. Pearson.
A very informative full color, A/5, 44 glossy page publication full of pictures, explaining in full the differences between the left and right hand drive Model ‘A’ Fords produced between 1928 to 1931. It shows the considerable differences between the USA assembled cars and the Canadian assembled cars. It also shows, body and engine numbering sequences, Canadian Robertson square drive screws used extensively on the Canadian Model ‘A’s, instruments and controls, body numbering sequences where the prefix designated the body style, Patent Data plates which were attached to the firewall on the 1928 cars only, period advertising, production figures for twenty two countries where partially built up bodies were exported from Canada to foreign assembly plants, such as New Zealand, South Africa and Australia.
The book also gives information on the “Early Cars” which were the very first Model ‘A’s produced, which were in many ways very different to the later produced cars. The appearance was the similar, but many parts did not satisfactorily interchange.
Tools supplied with each vehicle are covered. There is a page of helpful information, a page on Model ‘A’ specifications. A RHD lubrication chart and a RHD wiring chart. There is a page of mechanical specifications which is very handy to the mechanically minded.

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
