I had even mapped him a route to Orlando without having to go on the interstates. He thanked me but I could tell he was not really interested. We both said that would be a really long day, and that we would make it into at least an over nighter.
Well then the accident!! He apparently was hit from behind on I95. Flew upside down, landed on the wheels and then was hit by another car. He was released from the hospital that very next morning with bruises and a few cuts. Amazing that he was not killed! He called my buddy that next morning to let him know what happened. Absolutely shocked that he did not die or would have been in the hospital for months.

Amazing story. Please tell us his insurance situation, how that plays out and of course, glad to hear the man wasn't hurt any worse than he was. I'm wondering too, if he'll get into another Model A when the dust settles and he heals up, or if he'll go a different route.
I know people who do, but man oh man I wouldn't take a Model A Ford on the Interstate unless maybe, just maybe, you had the mods but even THEN I've seen these idiots blow by me when I'm doing 75 in my modern car, like I was doing maybe 25 or 30. People today have absolutely no respect for you, your family, or your property. It is a zoo out there today.
