April, 1945. Been driving our 1929 tudor for 52 years now. Raised our family of five with it. I'm 75 years old this month.

1963. Decendent of one of the first families to come in and stay in sw/nw Va/Nc, I'm still here. Kids got the ancestry DNA thing for me, started not to do it but did. I found at this moment I have over 140,000 dns matches in the US and around the world (that's just the ones who have had their DNA examined), no question many of you, like it or not are from my bloodline or I from yours.


Tony S, it is great you are here on this forum. Not a WW2 vet by chance?

1967 - I inherited my A from my dad he was born in 1941 and had his first A when he was 15. We lost him two years ago, and that's when I got into the hobby. I've built many Model A's as hot rods, but this one will always be original out of respect for my dad. Plus, the everyone I have met in the Model A hobby are all wonderful people.

That's also how I got my A.

I know us younger guys may annoy you older fellows with our know it all attitudes, but I'd love to sit down with you guys and pick your brains clean. You guys carry so much knowledge and it's appreciated when you share it.

I do know Grubbs, my mother was a cox, was born in galax. The grandfather that settled in this area was born in Lancaster Pa 1740 I believe. They lived an interesting life and I’m sure relatives, brothers sister stayed in Pa. being an old family is why I’m sure I’m related to so many here. Here’s a link with some info. https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Personavid_Cox_%2810%29
