Re: How come "Car Collectors" don't like Model A's?
Tim makes good points in his post.
Alot of my customers have numerous cars of varying makes. Most have at least one Model A in the fleet.
The people who look down on a Model A are most likely jealous that an A Model can do anything asked of it and their fancy Packards and V-16 Cadillacs stay in the garage for fear of breaking down.
I drive some rather expensive cars at my day job from AMG Mercedes to Ferraris to M series BMW's and none of those break the ice better than my Model A (or 50s cars for that matter). It's a built in defense mechanism against snobbery. You have 2 equally good looking girls standing next to each other. One is wearing jeans and a t-shirt, the other in a high dollar outfit with her neck stiff and nose in the air wearing more gold & diamonds than Tiffany. Which one would you talk to?
The Model A evens out the social classes. I get a real kick out of a guy who owns a Ferrari Enzo saying he'd like to take my Model A for a spin.
