I used to draw 32 Ford coupes in homeroom while in high school (62-66). I read every hot rod book, etc . in the school library. Henry Ford biography is a good one. As like every other gear-head, I had about 6-7 cars in high school ranging from a 46 Ford coupe, 51 Mercury, 55-56 Fords, 50 Ford p/u, and a 57 Chevy. Then 67-69 Camaros, 67 Chevelle, 55 & 60 Chevy, 56 Vette, then three 62 Vettes. After getting the 3 kids through college, I decide to get a Model A. About two years ago I found a two owner 31 Deluxe coupe w/rumble seat in Pacific Palisades, CA. A lady was the original owner and named her "Suzanne". She sold it to the second owner in 1968, who had it freshened up with original paint and rebuilt the motor in 1972. I bought it based upon good pictures and transported to Austin, TX. The motor just turned 2500 miles on the rebuild. My grandkids in the rumble seat and I are having a blast with it. It shares space with an original 64 StingRay coupe now!
