Makes a person appriciate the durability of the A. My Grandfather was truant officer in rural Gallia county, OH. Had to furnish his own car for the job. He had an A coup.

He obviously didn't drive at night. No headlights!

According to the second owner, The Wretched Roadster was used to deliver mail in West Virginia for more than 50 years prior to his father buying it in 1957. I’d love to see photos from the time.

That tells me that it was built in or before 1907.
