Here's the "improper" uses that my first Model A had: This was an AA 280A when it left the factory. The first 20 years of it's life it was used as it was designed -- An ambulance for a coal mine company in Northern New Mexico.

Then is was used variously as:
A church bus
A grocery truck (to supply a little grocery store 50 miles from nowhere)
A farm truck
Then I bought it.

First I used it for a camping wagon
Then it was my personal car when I got old enough to drive

But the most unusual use of this truck was to sell Snow Cones in a small copper mining town in South East Arizona in the summertime. (kinda like the Good Humor trucks).

Henry designed the rear bumpers to pick up bicycles, so we should use them.
It's also perfect for camping...




Speeding isn't improper, or is it?

I've done everything from haul pumpkins to run El Mirage dry lake in my wide-bed, 78 mph
