Default Re: A funny thing happened at the car show Saturday....

Thanks for the compliments.

Car is definitely a "10 footer" - doesn't show in the picture though. Has a few dents in the fender, and an aging lacquer paint job. Always planned on a repaint, but right now it is nice to drive without care and let the kids climb in and enjoy.

I was originally going to paint her Washington Blue (wife's favorite color) but something with the tomato red, black and yellow wheels just pops.

You know if you gussied up the ol' girl you prolly would not want to show her alone and drive it like you stole her. Huh, I was referring to the model A

You know, that was some of the best advice I got from the Barn: "drive her like you stole her"!

Been doing that ever since, enjoying every moment and not looking back!

Wish you had some pictures of the kids in the car. They always seem to be smiling in an "A" and that is the whole idea.

Ask and you shall receive! These pics are of my son and his friends. At car shows, if there is a family with camera I tell the kids to jump in so the parents can get a picture. Kids have such a huge smile when they get in.

One young man asked if he could start it, so I handed him the crank handle - the look on his face was priceless.
