Re: How long ?
I got my first model A in the spring of 1960 , I turned 14 near the end of that year . The car was a junked strip down with 4 flat tires .
I bought the model A for eight dollars . A friend towed it in for me with her 49 olds . By the time we made it in , all of the flat tires had came off the rims . The neighbors were pointing and laughing at me . I hid it at my aunt Grace and uncle Rays place because my dad would not have liked my dragging home such a piece of junk . I didn't know anything about model A's at the time . It took a while but with the help from some older guys and a few parts from Warshawsky and JC Whitney we brought it back to life . After all these years I've still got it . I call it my september 29 because that is what the motor number indicates . I now have a few other model A's and parts but my september 29 is still one of my favorites .
