Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving Who is the oldest among us who still owns and drives a Model "A"? I cannot be me as I am only 82 years young, but I still have and drive my Model "A's".

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving I am a couple years younger than you Bob, but it's safe to say all our ages are going up :)

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving My guess- Robert Guimarin at 95 years old. He's still working on Model As also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aWDEWxZ5go

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving I'm 90 and I sold my early '28 OCPU A year and a half ago because it was almost impossible for me to get in and out of and to drive it. I still have my '28 roadster which is a little easer for me to get in and out of and to drive with a thick pad on the seat.

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving I am only 86, will be 87 next month.
I still have my shop where I work on Model A's and build engines. |
Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving I'm 73 and still have my 30 coupe I bought when I was 12. Always maintained.

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving We in our mere '70's don't have a chance!

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving My best friend Mickey is 92 has 5 model A's and still drives them

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving I've got a friend that's 102 and still drives his Model A and Model T. Lives by him self and built a new two story house a few years ago. I've heard his eyesight is getting bad.

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving I have a 1930 Town Sedan which is still pretty much my daily driver....still do my own maintenance...must admit though it's getting harder to do a lube job....I'm 92 ..We need a doctors certificate every two years to renew our driver's license.

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving In my opinion, the way Model A's are driven would suit older drivers rather than modern cars. What do you think?

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving I will be 88 in April and I am still driving the '29 Business Coupe that my Grandpa gave to me when I turned 16. That Model A sparked an interest in Model A's the led to a lot more: Tudors, Fordors, Coupes, Cabriolets, Station Wagon and Speedsters.

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving I am 80 but there are some older than me.

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving I just turned 80, still driving my first car, a ‘29 Tudor, which I bought in 1961 at age 16. Still all original (both of us). I’ve bought and sold about 35 A’s over the years, but she’s the first and last and I will never sell her. Shows in my avatar.

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving I am 82 and still driving my 31 coupe and 29 speedster. Dknapp bought my first speedster, so I had to build another. Still building engines also.

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving Wow! So many of us are 80 plus years old and still driving and maintaining our A's. Maybe we should have a special chapter in MARC & MAFCA with special membership recognition for those youngsters 90 plus and 100 plus that still drive their A's. Thanks all for replying. For those in their 70s, enjoy your youth while you still have it!
Robert Guimarin at 95 years old and Gold Digger's friend at 102 win the brass ring! Wow!! May God bless all of us with many more years of good health and Model A driving ability. |
Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving I'm 82 and still drive mine. I think these old cars are what keeps us going.

Re: Oldest Model A Owner & Still Driving This is one award I am hoping to postpone as long as possible. BUT-I am planning to go as long as possible before I have to sell my Barb...:(
