Re: College "A" On Shorpy
The Model A is 14 years old in the picture. It was relegated to "old car" status. A 14 year old car today (2005 model) would not be considered an "old car" (at least for me). Times have changed.
Great picture, BTW!

Re: College "A" On Shorpy
I don't understand. The caption says 1942 but the war would be on then. And the shirt says 1945.

Re: College "A" On Shorpy
My first thought was the year they would graduate.But,look close.I think that shirt says 1845.Maybe the year the school was established.

Re: College "A" On Shorpy
I looked at it again and in a low res photo it does look like an 8 but when you open the high res file it is definitely a 9 so it is his class year
