I got bit by the model A bug around 1955 when I was around 9 years old. The neighbors teenage kid had a strip down model A. I was hooked by the sound and look of his red brush painted 28-29 strip down. We would ride in the pastures where there was no real danger. One day Roger let me drive , it was in first gear with the throttle set at just above an idle . It was a real thrill for me!!! Rogers strip down still had fenders and a home made wood pickup box and seat, I can still see and hear it in my memory.

As a child, I was so hooked on model A's that I would wade through a briar patch just to see and touch the hulk of a junked model A.
