Living in the twenties
 

I think I missed a lot of the fun. Take a look at this 5-minute tour from 1920 to 1929. Can you spot the Model A's?

Very interesting...appreciate your sending. In our part of the country, most people were in poverty anyway. It was enlightening to see how well some people lived in the cities before the Depression. It was a far different world.

I grew up in the 30's and it was pretty much the same.
I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I got to shake hands and talk with Babe Ruth and I.J. Paderewski.
There was beer also.

During 1932 and 1933 my grandfather's total sales for a week at his hardware store (founded in 1881 by my great-grandfather) were sometimes no more than several pounds of nails (about 50 cents). Local banker committed suicide. My mother, who had no electricity on the farm until sometime in the 1920's said there were no good old days. Her father, my grandfather, paid the farm bills in part by selling moonshine to Chicago gangsters. It took them a day to drive the 200 miles or so to the farm. They stayed overnight and took the "shine" back to Chicago the next day.

I like that car too, it looks somewhat like an AC, the early part of the film is from England. The AC was an early delivery car, AC was short for Auto Carrier. Sure is hard to believe that was the start of the AC Cobra.

There was a panel truck at the beginning of "The Crash" that might have been an A.
