Default Re: "What is the most improper way you've used your vintage car?" -Petrolicious

Here's the "improper" uses that my first Model A had: This was an AA 280A when it left the factory. The first 20 years of it's life it was used as it was designed -- An ambulance for a coal mine company in Northern New Mexico.

Then is was used variously as:
A church bus
A grocery truck (to supply a little grocery store 50 miles from nowhere)
A farm truck
Then I bought it.

First I used it for a camping wagon
Then it was my personal car when I got old enough to drive

But the most unusual use of this truck was to sell Snow Cones in a small copper mining town in South East Arizona in the summertime. (kinda like the Good Humor trucks).
