Default Re: When is a "Model A" no longer a "Model A"

To which this brings up the "shade tree mechanic" or even worst "the local repair shop"

We have all witnessed some sort of "repairs" that were performed back when supplies and parts were non-existent. Some had to adapt from whatever they could find, is it still a Model"A"?

Not to mention, back in the late 20's people and companies were making and selling improvement components from bodies to OHV cyl heads. This is not new.

While I like to look at all the cars, some don't interest me, I just keep walking.
What I like to see is something driven, doesn't have to be perfect and if it has marks, dings etc. It tells a story.

Enjoy the hobby for now, it may not be here in the future. John
