Re: Model A Town Car?

Re: 28, 29 vs 30,31 What do you like any why?

All 4 years are great. Even Will Rodgers admitted he never met a Model A he didn't like.

Re: Tough Old Ford

I have no doubt the whole works can take off and go down the road, but stopping that train using Model A brakes even in good condition from a rolling speed of 50 mph is a disaster waiting to happen.

Re: Sedan delivery auction

All the vehicles referenced in this thread are delivery vehicles, but would it not be correct to state none of them are sedan deliveries?

Re: OK! Let's get personal!

I recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of my 14th birthday. Bought my Model A Tudor 42 years ago and painted it and installed new interior and still own the car.
