Article on the 2013 MARC National Meet

I enjoyed reading the article. So true about the age demographics and younger people not necessarily having the personal connection, time, or money to be involved with pre-war cars. I'm in the minority at 32 and I know VERY few people that have a collector car of any sort, let alone a Model A. Time and money are HUGE barriers to the mid 30 and under crowd I think. Modern life has so many other forms of entertainment that anyone making a feeble attempt at keeping up with the joneses will not find the time for actually working on their own car and its often cost prohibitive to have all the work farmed out (if you can find someone willing). That and family activities in general take that time over until most people are empty nesters. I hope many of you that own Model A's get your sons, daughters, grandkids or even neighbors involved with Model A's and basic car knowlege. Teach them a thing or two so maybe they'll one day carry the torch. I'm forever thankful and fortunate that my Dad showed me how to use a wrench and my grandfather passed his A onto me.
