Nothing improper but maybe a little daring for elderly folks
We have owned many classic 190SL, 911s, Pagodas, E Types, etc during the past 40 odd years, but never a vintage car. We bought a lovely 29 A roadster pickup about a month ago which now lives in our hangar with our classics. We could not resist putting a camping mattres in the back and spent Christmas eve sleeping in our little A. The next day Santa used it to delivered gifts to kids at the airfield.

In the obverse, the finest hours for my 30 Cabby is the two parades in DC wherein I carried a US. Medal of Honor recipient each time. What a thrill for me!!! These guys are regular real people, but still to have one riding with me and chatting was such a fine time.

I just added a photo of me using my 1934 phaeton as a parts hauler.
The cars in the street and the parking lot, across the street, are the cars, you see now, at car shows. MIKE |

Back in the late 50's, my Dad use to sometimes "borrow" my 31 Fordor to deliver mail on his rural route. (No, it wasn't RHD)

Model A's will go places some jeeps will have a tough time going. The tall narrow tires seem to help. I had a pair of Knobby Allstate tires on the back of the coupe in 77 when when we had a 10 inch snow. I had no problem driving in the snow.

I outran the tornado that happened in Oklahoma City/Moore, Oklahoma last spring when we were on our way back from the Museum opening. Then also outran two more tornadoes inbetween there & the Texas state line. Never been more scared/driven so far. Glad to say the old thing stayed together.

I use my 31 ccpu to haul garden mulch and compost, as well as anything else that needs hauling. After all, it's a truck, darn it.

Re: "What is the most improper way you've used your vintage car?" -Petrolicious
Here's the "improper" uses that my first Model A had: This was an AA 280A when it left the factory. The first 20 years of it's life it was used as it was designed -- An ambulance for a coal mine company in Northern New Mexico.
Then is was used variously as: A church bus A grocery truck (to supply a little grocery store 50 miles from nowhere) A farm truck Then I bought it. First I used it for a camping wagon Then it was my personal car when I got old enough to drive But the most unusual use of this truck was to sell Snow Cones in a small copper mining town in South East Arizona in the summertime. (kinda like the Good Humor trucks).

Henry designed the rear bumpers to pick up bicycles, so we should use them.
It's also perfect for camping... Speeding isn't improper, or is it? |

I had my 30 Tudor since I was a junior in high school. Used it drag the baseball field before a game at least once, it had a trailer hitch on it at the time. This would had been about 1966.
