Not only has my question been answered, but I have also learned a LOT from you guys.

It appears that some of you live in areas similar to mine with "car snobs" mostly belonging to the non-A crowd, while some of you are in areas where the A's do get respect.

Have also heard from some hot rodders that are indeed truly nice people. Unfortunately, in this area, the rodders have all been rude, obnoxious, disrespectful types. It must be a northern California rodder thing.

I happened by a pretty large car show last month where there were 2 fairly stock Model A's. The A's were sequestered into the farthest back corner of the show, with no outdoor lighting or activities. Couldn't even hear the music. There were probably over 100 cars there, and all but 5 were hot rods.

Thanks a lot for responding!
