Tragedy in a Model "A" Ford Coupe
this was a huge local scandal in the late '20s, when an Ohio State University professor murdered a co-ed in this car. They were having an affair and the event still occasionally receives publicity locally, after all these decades. This car exists today and is owned by a collector somewhere in Ohio.

Re: Tragedy in a Model "A" Ford Coupe
I wonder if the phrase "getting Snooked" in a car transaction had anything to do with this?

Re: Tragedy in a Model "A" Ford Coupe
actual phrase is "getting snookered" and I think it's a reference to a billiards game of the same name.

Re: Tragedy in a Model "A" Ford Coupe
Yes, now that you mention snookered, my memory comes back. I'm getting so old that I can't remember what those little brown pills are for.

Re: Tragedy in a Model "A" Ford Coupe
LOL while you guys are comparing medicines, perhaps you haven't noticed (or maybe the posted pic does not reveal it as clearly as mine) that Dr. Snook had a Goodyear advertising tire cover on his spare. This was anathema to the Ford Company, according to the various service bulletins and letters we read.

Re: Tragedy in a Model "A" Ford Coupe
Ericr: The photo you show is a 45-A, special coupe. Here's a link to a photo in the "Columbus Underground" dated February 14, 2012 that the Columbus (Ohio) Historical Society claims is James Snook's car, but it's a 50-A (sport coupe):
