While pushing past seventy in years, I truly feel eighteen when I drive or touch my Model A.

In 1956, my dad in a suprise move after dinner piled the family into his Nash and drove to a huge estate that was being demolished. We walked into a darken carriage house and amongst the gloom and shadows stood a mint 1928 Leatherback Sdn. "You need something to do after school Mike", I heard my Dad say as I stood with gaping mouth. As it happened that sweet car came home right then and there. Fifty years later I rejoined the Model A Highway and found this stellar bortherhood of Model A enthusiasts. For me nothing quite meets the fun my wife and I have on the Highway. And, a huge thanks to the Ford Barn for its tremendous help and my wife for her understanding and participation.
