Re: Young model A Driver.

Congratulations to that young man. I know I felt the joy just watching the video, the kid must have been ten times more excited. Wish I could have had that opportunity at his age!

Re: Great Period Street Scene Filled with Cars and Interesting Sights

1939 New York video

Not model A related, but thought everyone might like to see New York City in COLOR during 1939. My favorite part was the street vendor selling pina colada's for 5 cents. Enjoy!
