The journey to its' new home with Tom begins with a massive
storm to sit out - then a trip up to Wisconsin too not far
from the Mississippi River ....
The story unfolds about this very special Model A:
Built in June of 1930
Purchased on July 19, 1930 from the HJ Perry Motor Company
in Kansas City, KS for $646.00.
Mr. Aloys Warms bought it on an installment plan.
A German immigrant and farmer - he drove it on the family farm
and later to his factory job as his only vehicle he ever owned
until 1983.
In those 53 years he put over 30,000 miles on his beloved
Model A.
A confirmed bachelor who never married, Mr. Warms
kept his car in tip top shape over the years.
No photo of him along with this Model A has been discovered
to date - he was notoriously shy about having his picture taken.
He saved the original sales brochure he used to decide on
whether to buy the car or not along with the salesman's business card,
the original window sticker, purchase agreement and the loan papers.
All of the registration and insurance papers over all those years
were saved along with all service records.
