Re: How Many Model A Owners also Own a T?
Got my 26 Model T Touring about 14 years ago. Got my 1930 Model A Town Sedan last month. Hard to say which I like the best. Trying to iron out several issues with the A. The T is dialed in.
The T is kind of neat since you can leave the key in it because no one knows how to drive it. The A is nice since it's a major upgrade in driving ability from the T. Hard to believe that Henry held out so long on an out of date design.
I find that 60's cars are probably the best bet overall for drive-ability. My 66 Mercedes 230SL along with my MGB are the best overall drivers.
Currently working on a 49 Ford F1 pickup that has a 4 speed crash box trans. I think it might be harder to drive vs. a Model A.
When you take a look at the different era's of manufacturing, it is pretty amazing how much technology advanced through the decades. Much like aviation. Major advances when you consider how both wars influenced development.
