In reply to this, I am 74. When I got into the hobby, I was about 65. There weren't any A s in my neighborhood, town, or county (Essex co, NJ) My only contact was with my father's cousin, who had two AA flatbed trucks and in a few years they went to the fields. The Mod A was definitely foreign to my experience.I had pretty much the same view of that everyone else had. It was cheap and junky, and Ford just made them to have something new to give to the public cause they were getting sick of the T. With only 40 HP it wasn't much of a car. At least it wasn't a planetary two speed! I had little appreciation for the A's qualities. I didn't get interested in A's until my late fifties and didn't actually buy one until I was 65
