    More on the noble art of trialling here.

    Model A's have been a presence in historic trials recently; Model A trials specials less so — though there are a few.

    I notice in this video that the Model A's seems to be pulling
    both rear wheels. I have seen this in other videos as well. How
    did Ford configure the rear assemblies to produce posi type
    traction?

    It looks like the Phaeton's are the hot ticket for this hill climb, enough wait with a couple of adults in the back to load the tires for traction, but not too much to hold it back. The Tudor's in contrast were too heavy, too much wait to pull up the hill or through the thick mud. No coupes, roadsters or pickups to be seen, probably too light to get any traction I assume?
     
  8. Looks like fun
