Before I give up my Sweet Pea, I will use what ever device required to keep me on the road. Just a thought and hope the purists understand there may be a valid reason for some one wanting or needing an ad on to their Model A.

Gerry, I second that. I am blind in the right eye, so have no depth perception. Even if I could turn my head enough to look backwards (I cannot due to arthritis) I still cannot tell how close rear objects are. So when parking I have to get out and look at clearances behind (roadster and Tudor with rear trunks) before finishing the parking operation.
Unless my passenger helps or there is a shop window reflection to assist.
Frontal clearances are just as difficult for me, so on a 1953 Alvis I installed the sonar parking sensors front and rear.
A camera would be even better.
