Learned to drive the model a around age 8 in a parking lot. I was driving alone with my brother in car games by age 12. I'm 21 now and have driven a model A to Canada & back and people are STILL telling me how to drive a model a... Can't make everyone happy.

I think he did fine. The dad obviously had faith in his child... I don't think thats a bad thing.

After watching the video I must chime in on this one. I think the joung guy did just fine! Did you notice the smile on his face? He was grinning from ear to ear.
It reminded me of when I taught my daughter how to drive and she was about the same age as this young man. My daughters very first driving experience was driving our 1930 Town Sedan. Later in live after getting her licence she would drive our standard four speed Jeep Wagon to school and friends would ask her how do you know how to shift? She would answer I learned from driving my Dad Model A. All I can say is teach the kids how to drive your Model A because some day they might own it.
