Not model A but close. My grandfather had a 29 Chrysler. He was getting married to my grandmother, and he did a quick bearing replacement the day before. He forgot to prime the oil pump after putting the engine back together. In the morning he picked up his bride-to-be and they set off for the county seat to be married. A few miles down the road the engine seized. He straddled the ditch, crawled under the car and took off the engine pan, and figured out the problem. He then walked to the nearest neighbor to see if he could borrow a car to get back home. The neighbor just happened to have the same car, and had a new set of bearings for it. Grandpa bought the bearings from the guy, walked back to the car and installed them. He remembered to prime the oil pump this time, and him and grandma set off on their way, and were married as planned. This was in 1935 and they were married until 1987 when grandpa passed. Grandpa used to love to tell the story. He always carried an old pair of "overalls" in case of car trouble.
