Default Re: looks like it won't be a hot rod

I grew up in the 1940's and the newer cars that my parents had at the time are now regarded as antiques. Back in the 1940's, the second car of most families usually was the ever faithful model A Ford. In my youth, my Whidbey Island neighbors wouldn't sell me their low mileage 1928 model A tudor because they thought that I would make a hot rod out of it. I haven't made a hot rod out of any car yet, and I have owned a lot of model A Fords since then.

When I bought my first Model A in 1961 at the tender age of 16, the owner made me promise I'd never hot rod it. I didn't get it restored until 1980, but I still have it, and it is stock!
