Default Re: Can the Model A hobby survive?

Most of us young guys are about driving these old things and using them. I know 3 mid 30's guys within a 5 mile radius with stockers that drive them daily in good weather...

I'd drive mine if it would run, but it's more of a "touring" style car.

I've also got an entire backyard full of stock parts for sale, but don't post much as I have been chastised my local and online members of the stock community for what I choose to build which is hot rod model A with all bolt on parts. Still A powered. no cutting

My interest in stock A's lies in replicating used stock style car, so it would appear as a used vehicle in the late 30's to 40's. I like the wood inside, not tube steel. I like a slightly worn stock interior. I like banger motors, and wire wheels. Stock hardware. roadsters with just the fenders removed. I know this isn't the focus here and those of us with that interest keep our mouths shut, even though we may own a stock A or two. I have 4 btw. 3 stock one hot rod. none run.
