Model A Story:

I believe I was around 10 when my dad started a restoration project on a model A for one of his friends, Ray. They turned 2 basket case A's into one gorgeous, original and correct specimen. This was the mid 1980's so all the parts were items that had to be rehabbed, not repops. It was my first experience watching my dad turn garbage into gold that has stuck with me through my life. His patience and creativity still awes me. They started out painting it a soft yellow with brown trim. A couple years later Ray had him repaint it light blue with black. I'll always remember the sound that motor made, and the smile on their faces as they drove it around. It ran in several parades and Ray kept it for the rest of his life. I'm not sure its current disposition, it would have been in the Kalamazoo MI area.
