Poor guy isn’t dressed to solve that problem.

Not a problem. All he has to do is get on his cell phone and call AAA.

Can you imagine trying to explain to someone back in the era what a cell phones is!

A Restorer 90 years later, I wonder how the fenders got so bent up ?

How many would attempt that in their A today? Although clearly not a bad choice in cars to try it even today.

I wonder how many mules it required?

I bet the left hand side front door of that car is open. With that much twist in the chassis, there is no way they will close until it is level again. On second thoughts, he probably had to climb over it to get out.

My guess: He probably once owned a Model T that went on this road many times with no problems.

It looks like there is someone driving it as the right rear tire appears to be spinning. Maybe? I guess the A's were nearly as flexible as the T's.

Wonder where that is?

One can see what appears to be the top of the drivers hat.
