Trunk and wiper motors.

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Hi,

I have two queseions:

1. Were all the trunks in 29 metal or were some fabric covered? I know several co were used so the make up of the trunks were a bit different. Just wondering if some were leather covered.

2. Could somone post a pic of the correct wiper motors for a 29 Phaeton. Was the driver motor diff from the passenger?

Thanks to all. Rick

Hi Richard, I have about 15 Old car trunks for sale. Late 20’s and 30’s. Some are metal and some are wood with a black Pantasote covering. I’m in Minnesota. If interested I’m in the P-A roster or email me. What size is your trunk rack? Jim

Hi Jim

I’m not sure I truly need one. Some people say mine is incorrect. And too small. The trunk with luggage sounds cool. Please send a pic and price. [email protected]

Thanks. Rick

Both wiper motors I believe are the same.I think they are Trico.My 1929 Roadster has her beautiful original pair of wiper motors down to original plating.I will try to get a photo and I can also research to see if they were the same for another car.Some 1930-1931 Ford A open car wiper motors are similar looking.There is a person on Ebay who deals alot in wiper motors

for older automobiles.His name is Ron Monte.I got a beautiful nos 1930-1931 Packard open car Trico Folberth motor with original chrome from him.

As far as the wipers are concerned, 90 percent of the cars I see have Model A Ford chrome plated motors installed. I had the original motors for my ’31, they had a lot of engraving, etc. It is expensive and a nuisance to jump through the plating, rebuilding hoops, etc. I finally sold them. Many people are upset when you tell them they have Model A wiper motors. You buy them all plated, put them on, case closed.

Hi Tony,

You are not alone. I have found some major car guys who buy military wipers and modify them. they look very close. Thanks Rick

Contact Ron Monte at 973-236-6164 or 973-226-3607 He may be able to help you on wiper motors that are very close.Keep in mind that at this point in time finding 1929-1931 Pierce Arrow Phaeton-Roadster hardware is virtually impossible so you may have to do something that is close.Trico made most of the wiper motors for the industry in that period.
