I have been an owner since 1962, when I was about 7 years old......my dad brought this old ccpu home, he had seen it for sale on a downtown street for $125....he had the four of us kids put on the title.

It was a mixture of '29 and '30 parts. Mostly wheels radiator seats and small stuff. A 4-speed AA gearbox and boiler plate for a bed floor.

It went to Andy's Model A Clinic for some refurbishment, my brother remembers $800 being spent at the the time. It got paint, a new top, 21" wheels and new tires. Andy made it run and stop.


It spent lots of time in the barn and on occasion we would take a battery out of one of the tractors and drive the Model A. I knew nothing about it. The shifting must have been a nightmare...

But the A survived and eventually came to me two years ago.

Several books, many hours of repair and lots of help from friends and those on the barn and its a pretty good driver now.
