So, the open house committee and I thought it appropriate to park a 1928 Ford next to the Tri-Motor during the show to give the thousands of visitors the appropriate feel of the era.

The early Model A Roadster was the only car on display during the Air Fair and it received a good going-over by the assembled masses. The fingerprints and dried ice cream washed right off. I loved hearing the stories of the old-timers who owned "A"s back in the day.

Hyperion,
That's a great statement, "The fingerprints & dried ice cream washed right off!"
Sunday School taught us to "share what we have!"
We shouldn't be OLD GRUMPS! Be a Model A Ambassador! A car that's too precious to be touched should be left at home in a GLASS case! Bill W.
