Rowdy -
An Iowa City Model A guy and I drove to Masonville in 1972 to buy parts for our Model A's. Craig Starr ran the operation and he was a great guy. Shortly afterwards, I moved to Arizona. I was saddened to hear later on that Craig had closed down the business. Too bad. A class act, as was Bob Murphy and his Model A parts business in Marion, Iowa. I think I must have paid for his kids' college educations by buying parts from him.

'Sure would like to go back in a time machine and buy parts from Craig and Bob at their 1972 prices!
