Model A's in everyday life, 20's & 30's
 

You have to set aside an hour to watch this. Hundreds of photos of Model A's when new and when just used cars. Lots of history.

Thanks for posting, that was a wonderful tour of by gone days. Many proud Model A owners there, proud of new shiny Model A's and proud of well-worn Model As but all loved.
I'm always on the lookout for familiar scenes in these old pix. There was a lot California. As for my neighborhood, Michigan I saw only two views that I could relate too. Early in the video, there was a shot of a "Stark Hickey Ford" car lot. Stark Hickey was a famous big-time Detroit Ford dealer. Also, a photo of an "A" set-up to run on railroad. marked "DT&I", Detroit, Toledo & Ironton.

Pasadena High School still has a club that restores a Model A. They then raffle it off and start on another one.
