Re: Model A CRASH?? Looks like it has a lot of "stuff" on the car, antennas, raccoon tails, something on the hood louvers, big box thing on firewall and bald tires.

Re: Model A CRASH?? Yikes!
The interior of that garage is identical to the one the local Ford dealer had, until Ford told him about 7 or 8 years ago to build a new building or lose the franchise! That happened to another local dealer (had an identical building from the Model A era, demolished now)only they let him stay open until he retired, then the next guy was supposed to build new. |
Re: Model A CRASH?? Having crashed, I can tell you it feels bad in so many ways. A guy pulled from the right lane to the left and then hit the brakes to turn.
I needed a fender, fender bracket, bumper, bumper mounts, horn, radiator & cover, headlights, fan, hood, hood rods, water pump, wheel, frame repair and allignment, frame horn, perches, and the damage to the ego was non replacable. He needed a brake light. |
Re: Model A CRASH?? IMHO. Today's vehicles are safer but the drivers aren't ! :(

Re: Model A CRASH?? Makes me sick to see recent crash photos of model A s . These cars have been painstakingly restored and then to see them wrecked what a shame. Makes me almost afraid to enjoy mine and just leave it in the garage where its safer. How come ive never seen any from a rat rod? No one cares to take a photo i guess.

https://scontent-b-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/...27&oe=54CAE531 https://scontent-a-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/...1e&oe=54CF656F This is posted on the MARC site. From the Huntington Beach Police Department 9-27-2014. At about 5:55am, a man was driving his 1929 Ford east on Adams Avenue through Newland Street. He was on his way to the Donut Derelicts auto club meeting at Magnolia Street and Adams ...Avenue. A second vehicle southbound on Newland Street entered the intersection on the red light and collided with the 1929 Ford. The second driver was cited for running the red light, being unlicensed and not having a valid insurance card. The driver of the 1929 Ford had moderate injuries. We will hope for his full recovery,,,, and for a full recovery of his 1929 Ford. This is my dad he is ok just a staple in his head and a banged up knee what's really sad is this is his 1st car he's had it since he was 16 years old. |
Re: Model A CRASH?? Wow.... Glad he is OK! :eek: That's really tough that he's had such a history with that A, and infuriating at the carelessness and recklessness of an unlicensed and uninsured driver. I hope your dad had good insurance to replace and or repair what is salvageable on his pickup. The main thing to remember however is cars can be replaced, not people! I hope he recovers well from this (health, financially, and replacing his car).
