My Dad drove me home from the hospital in a Model A when I was born.

One of the first things he asked me when I got my current Model A (6 years ago) was "what kind of engine are you going to put in it?" Then commented about several of the cars he had seen over the years with SBC's in them.

In his younger years, if you had a Model A, it was never "stock".

Mine is a long way from being "stock", but I don't ever think of it as a "hot-rod". My step-son's Camaro is a hot-rod! (and it's factory stock)
