The Ford Barn

I bought a number of NOS and NORS parts from a guy several years ago. He would have to search his memory for a price for each item and would ask for whatever he thought it cost him when he acquired it some 20-30 years before. I was surprised to be buying things at a cost far below the prevailing swap meet prices. He told me that the Model A hobby was just a hobby for him and that trying to make a profit from it was an unnecessary distraction from his enjoyment of the cars and the people that also enjoyed them.
