Meeting the public

[700rpm]

I had a great conversation yesterday with a lady I'd never met. I drove the coupe to the grocery store, and when I came out there was a very nice lady waiting in an 80's Buick next to my car. She tells me many people had come by and commented favorably on the coupe, and we had a very nice conversation about Model A's and old cars in general. (She thought her Buick was old! I suggested she sell it and get a Model A. She laughed, but I was serious!)

My point is, one of the pleasures of owning these cars is meeting new people, even briefly, and making them smile, having a friendly conversation, and maybe giving them something pleasant to share at the dinner table when they get home. It may be, in fact, the main reason I drive my car so often. I love these encounters with the public.

Drive your Model A. It's fun for lots of people besides you, and you never know what may happen!
